HELP I keep getting a reference error trying to call the data class copy

[Corey Lanier]

These are also the only options given to me for copy on import so i don’t know what to do at all

[Milan Hruban]

Can you share the code snippet? Data class copy is a member function, not a top level function, so you should call it on the data class instance with a dot notation

data class A(val a: Int)
val foo = A(1)
val bar = foo.copy()

[Corey Lanier]

Thanks, yeah, you were right that I had missed putting it inside a data class

[Corey Lanier]

And it’s working fine now
