# Error code E0425

An unresolved name was used.

Erroneous code examples:

    #![allow(unused)]
    fn main() {
    something_that_doesnt_exist::foo;
    // error: unresolved name `something_that_doesnt_exist::foo`

    // or:

    trait Foo {
        fn bar() {
            Self; // error: unresolved name `Self`
        }
    }

    // or:

    let x = unknown_variable;  // error: unresolved name `unknown_variable`
    }

Please verify that the name wasn't misspelled and ensure that the identifier being referred to is valid for the given situation. Example:

    #![allow(unused)]
    fn main() {
    enum something_that_does_exist {
        Foo,
    }
    }

Or:

    #![allow(unused)]
    fn main() {
    mod something_that_does_exist {
        pub static foo : i32 = 0i32;
    }

    something_that_does_exist::foo; // ok!
    }

Or:

    #![allow(unused)]
    fn main() {
    let unknown_variable = 12u32;
    let x = unknown_variable; // ok!
    }

If the item is not defined in the current module, it must be imported using a `use` statement, like so:

    mod foo { pub fn bar() {} }
    fn main() {
    use foo::bar;
    bar();
    }

If the item you are importing is not defined in some super-module of the current module, then it must also be declared as public (e.g., `pub fn`).
