my code seems to work but check50 seems to disagree and has given me the following:

  • :( encrypts "a" as "b" using 1 as key expected "ciphertext: b\n", not "ciphertext: b\x..."
  • :( encrypts "barfoo" as "yxocll" using 23 as key expected "ciphertext: yxo...", not "ciphertext: yxo..."
  • :( encrypts "BARFOO" as "EDUIRR" using 3 as key expected "ciphertext: EDU...", not "ciphertext: EDU..."
  • :( encrypts "BaRFoo" as "FeVJss" using 4 as key expected "ciphertext: FeV...", not "ciphertext: FeV..."
  • :( encrypts "barfoo" as "onesbb" using 65 as key expected "ciphertext: one...", not "ciphertext: one..."
  • :( encrypts "world, say hello!" as "iadxp, emk tqxxa!" using 12 as key expected "ciphertext: iad...", not "ciphertext: iad..."

as far as I can tell, my programme seems to be working. Any ideas?

Double check your loop condition. Your output is showing that you are printing the null char that signifies the end of the string.

Be sure that if you have a string "ab" (which, in memory is 'a', 'b', '\0' that you don't try to print the '\0'). This what check50 is showing with that \x it is receiving.

Are you using a line feed, \n, to terminate the output or something else? It seems as if you're outputting something else, based on expected "ciphertext: b\n", not "ciphertext: b\x..."
