[FIXED] Trying to understand the output in notebook out cell

Issue

I don't understand the point of the out cell. It seems to be a char count?! Any way to get rid of this altogether?

I am using gophernotes (notebooks for golang)

Solution

This is actually expected. In the official documentation it says

Println formats using the default formats for its operands and writes to standard output. Spaces are always added between operands and a newline is appended. It returns the number of bytes written and any write error encountered.

Thus, what you are seeing is the actual output followed by the number of bytes and the error, which is just nil in your case (no error as expected).
