Programming Quick Start example doesn't work

Step 4.
line: if((USceneComponent* ExistingRootComponent = GetRootComponent()) has one extra scope at the beginning after if statement.
line: static ConstructorHelpers::FObjectFinder CubeVisualAsset(TEXT(“/Game/StarterContent/Shapes/Shape_Cube.Shape_Cube”)); doesn’t load cube.
Question how to fix this line and another question: is an argument correct CreateDefaultSubobject(TEXT(“Mesh”)); ?

I have this problem too)
But if you want to solve this problem, you need to go down this page

And you will see the difference

VisualMesh = CreateDefaultSubobject<UStaticMeshComponent>(TEXT("Mesh"));
    VisualMesh->SetupAttachment(RootComponent);

    static ConstructorHelpers::FObjectFinder<UStaticMesh> CubeVisualAsset(TEXT("/Game/StarterContent/Shapes/Shape_Cube.Shape_Cube"));

    if (CubeVisualAsset.Succeeded())
    {
        VisualMesh->SetStaticMesh(CubeVisualAsset.Object);
        VisualMesh->SetRelativeLocation(FVector(0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f));
    }

This code at the end of the documentation

But this code at the beginning of the documentation

if((USceneComponent* ExistingRootComponent = GetRootComponent())
{
    VisualMesh = CreateDefaultSubobject<UStaticMeshComponent>(TEXT("Mesh"));
    VisualMesh->SetupAttachment(RootComponent);

    static ConstructorHelpers::FObjectFinder<UStaticMesh> CubeVisualAsset(TEXT("/Game/StarterContent/Shapes/Shape_Cube.Shape_Cube"));

    if (CubeVisualAsset.Succeeded())
    {
        VisualMesh->SetStaticMesh(CubeVisualAsset.Object);
        VisualMesh->SetRelativeLocation(FVector(0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f));
    }

}

Something like this)

Thank you very much.
It’s working.
Really strange, they just removed the if statement and it works.
