I just started this course and have been enjoying it very much. I complete pset1 credit with the following code. But when I check my solutions, it always returns: Has anyone encountered this?

:) credit.c exists
:) credit.c compiles

Check50 looks for a very specific output, and if it doesn't get it, it throws an error. In this case, check50 is looking for the following exact output on the screen:

Number: 378282246310005
AMEX

Obviously the number and card type will change. I hope this points you in the right direction ;)

  • That's it! Thank you! All I needed was adding: printf("Number: ");
