Strange CL output

Question

I was testing my code to see if the command line argument's characters are digits but after plugging a random argument that was a mix of letters and numbers, I obtained a strange output. See what you make of it and if you have any idea whats going on, I'd appreciate them

#include <stdio.h>
#include <cs50.h>
#include <ctype.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <stdlib.h>


int main(int argc, string argv[])
{
  if (argc == 2) {
    for (int i = 0, n = strlen(argv[1]); i < n; i++) {


       if (i) {
         printf("%s\n", argv[i]);
       }
    }
    return 0;

  } else if (argc > 2) {
    printf("%s", "Usage: ./caesar key \n");

  } else {
    printf("%s", "Usage: ./caesar key\n");

  }

Command Line Output:

$ ./caesar 3uhhhlyffx5bp953azmk976rrctfuuu

I have no idea what this code is doing. But that doesn't really matter.

You said that the intent is to test the chars in argv[1] to see if they're digits. Well, there's absolutely no code here to do that. I don't see any calls to isdigit() or anything that checks argv[1][i].

Looks like there's a bunch of missing code here that has yet to be added. ;-)
