I have a problem in this array of struct

[opemy]

struct people {
uint256 favouriteNumber;
string name; // now we have a new type of people,
}
//and the much better way to create a list of people is to add a data structure called an ARRAY of struct
//uint256[] public favouriteNumberList;
People[] public people;

                   AND THIS IS THE ERROR THAT IT BRING
 from solidity:

DeclarationError: Identifier already declared.
--> contracts/SimpleStorage.sol:17:5:
|
17 | People[] public people;
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Note: The previous declaration is here:
--> contracts/SimpleStorage.sol:11:5:
|
11 | struct people {
| ^ (Relevant source part starts here and spans across multiple lines).

from solidity:
DeclarationError: Identifier not found or not unique.
--> contracts/SimpleStorage.sol:17:5:
|
17 | People[] public people;
| ^^^^^^

@opemy please use backticks ( ``` ) to post your code. It's difficult to read it in the way you sent it. Use the preview tab to visualize how it will look before posting.

You need 3 backticks. Example:

```

<paste your code>

@opemy I agree with @pacelliv, we should try to follow posting etiquette.

As for the error you are getting, well the solidity compiler is getting confused.
You are declaring a custom data type of people

struct people {
uint256 favouriteNumber;
string name; // now we have a new type of people,
}

later in your code you are declaring a variable
People[] public people;

The Solidity compiler is asking "what do you mean a variable of people? You have already told me that people is a data type."

so change your custom data type to

struct People {
uint256 favouriteNumber;
string name; // now we have a new type of people,
}

and the compiler will understand that you want to use the custom data type that you named People. That you want a collection (array) of the People data type and that you want to call that collection, people
