My code seems to be working but check50 is giving me this "\ expected output, but not "#\n""

Question

My code seems to be working but I keep failing on check50. As an example, I get this back from check 50:

:( handles a height of 1 correctly \ expected output, but not "#\n" :( handles a height of 2 correctly \ expected output, but not " #\n##\n

I'm not sure what is going wrong, any ideas? My code is as follows:

//get user input int n;

do {
printf("Give me a positive integer no greater than 23.\n");

n = GetInt();

}while(n > 23 || n < 0);

//build pyramid for (int i=0; i < n; i++) {

   for (int a=i+1; a < n; a++)
   {printf(" ");}

   for (int b=n-i; b > 0 && b <= n; b++)
   {printf("#");}

printf("\n");


}      

}

Thanks!

This is an example of making sure to follow the exact specifications. In a pyramid of height 1 (or any height), how many hashes are supposed to be printed on the first line?
