My mario project prints exactly what is supposed to but cs50 is not passing it, for numbers 2,and above and when i look at the link for the bug their output is exactly same as mine. Did someone run to the same problem. here is my code snippet below:

int main(void)
{
int usernum;

// making sure user input a number between 1 to 23 
do{
    printf("Height: ");
    usernum = GetInt();
   }while(usernum > 23 || usernum < 0);


   for(int column = 0,space = usernum; space >= 0 || 
        column <= usernum; column++,space--)
   {
    for(int row = 0; row < space ; row++)
    {
        // checking to see if we have reached the end of space
        if(row + 1 == space)
        {
           // if yes then start printing the hashes :).
           for(int row = 0; row <= column + 1; row++)
           {
               printf("#");
           } 

         }
        printf(" ");
    }
    // making sure to print one less next line then user's input
     if(column < usernum)
     {
     printf("\n");
     }
   }

return 0;
}

Actually, it doesn't print exactly what was asked for. It's just really hard to see the problem. Try printing an 'x' where you are printing spaces and you'll immediately see the problem. As for how to fix it, well, that's for you to do. ;-)

CHECK50 looks for very exact output. If there are any extra or missing prompts, spaces, line feeds or anything else, it will fail. This is the only way that they can handle grading for tens of thousands of people enrolled in the class and doing different psets all year long!
