First, let me share my code:
int main(void)
{
int x = 1, y, n = 0, year;
do
{
x = get_int("Enter the starting population size: "); // TODO: Prompt for start size
}
while (x<9);
do
{
y = get_int("Enter the ending population size: "); // TODO: Prompt for end size
}
while (y<x);
do
{
year = x + (x/3) - (x/4); // TODO: Calculate number of years until we reach threshold
n++;
x = year;
}
while (year < y);
printf("Years: %i\n", n); // TODO: Print number of years
}
Results for cs50/labs/2021/x/population generated by check50 v3.1.2
:) population.c exists
:) population.c compiles
:) handles starting values less than 9
:) handles ending values less than starting values
:) handles decimal number of llamas
:( handles same starting and ending sizes
expected "Years: 0", not "Years: 1\n"
:) handles starting population of 1200
:) rejects invalid populations and then handles population 9
:) rejects invalid populations and then handles population 20
:) handles starting population of 100
Why is it failing the test:
:( handles same starting and ending sizes expected "Years: 0", not "Years: 1\n"?
