i did restart my code space multiple times via cs50/restart but to no avail.

@Week 9's Finance assignment:: Error: ":( sell handles valid sale, expected to find "56.00" in page, but it wasn't found"

The code works, properly and well. Am presently troubleshooting against what Check50 is expecting, not at all to fix what the code is expected to produce (as that appears to be fine).

Have a score of 19/21 for the assignment, the assignment works as expected, just doesn't pass the Check50's next-to-last check (which pre-empts the final Check50 check entry as ":| history page shows transactions -- “Cause: can't check until a frown turns upside down" (due to the "sell handles valid sale" issue) . . .

Because the code appears to work properly and the 19 out of 21 present score should presumably result in an overall scoring that exceeds the required “70%”:

Is there a way to cry "Uncle", accept the < 100% score for the assignment, and be able to call the course completed (as the Final Project is indeed finished and turned in; all that stands between this and moving on to another course is the "Can't find 56.00 in some random page that isn't identified" error message from Check50, which seems to be an issue that a lot of students run into and can't seem to resolve…

Help, please??

Sincerely,

At wit's end...

Hi everyone! I am planning to complete CS50's Introduction to Computer Science with Scratch before diving into CS50x, as I am currently struggling to create the initial Scratch project. Is taking CS50 Scratch first a good approach, or would you recommend sticking directly with CS50x Week 0? Thanks!

same as title

I was doing Week 7's youtube problem, and could not figure out how to pass the check for a typo. After about 10 minutes, I came up with the idea to have it return the input so I could look at the failure report and see what they are actually putting in and base my solution around that. This showed me that I they were replacing a "." with a "?" which told me immediately that I forgot a backslash.

Now that I have done that, I feel as though I sort of gamed the system and almost gave myself the answer. I was feeling angry because I felt that I should be able to see the tests so I know what I am trying to get around, but now that I actually did see the test I feel as though it makes the problems way too easy and I robbed myself of fixing the issue myself.

This is a question who are the alumni of this course and who took this course and are now working in industry.

I discovered CS50 kinda late like I finished my 5th semester and I'm in summer break, should I start this course or it wouldn't help me as much.

P.s my fundamentals aren't very good too 😔

I STARTED THE CS 50 COURSE IF I SPEND 20 HRS A WEEK HOW MUCH TIME WILL IT TAKE TO COMPLETE THE CS50 COUSE -------------------------- AND ALSO DO I NEED TO PAY FOR THE CERTIFICATE ? -----------AND IS THE CERTIFICATE REALLLY VALUABLE. PLEASE SOMEONE INFORM ME

I just completed Tideman.

I found sort_pairs the hardest as I had to implement a selection sort from scratch.

Ironically, lock_pairs didn't take me that long cause when I was writing pseudocode on paper it became very obvious to me that recursion is obviously needed (or at least very helpful) in traversing from one candidate to another to another to another.... stopping only when there are no more 'outward' arrows/that candidate you landed on creates a cycle.

Was js wondering if anyone else struggled on sort_pairs more than lock_pairs. print_winners was also abit tricky for me but maybe the way I wrote my loop was just awkward, but I guess it worked

can i watch old cs50 lec from yt and still submit projects in the official website

Hello Everyone

I am starting REACT

any YouTube tutorial/courses recommendation would be appreciated

I’m 25, passed 12th in 2019, and have been unemployed since then (yeah… I know 💀).
I wanna get into CS, especially coding, and hopefully build a career in tech. The business my dad is in has become super saturated, and honestly, I don’t wanna go down that path. The pay isn’t great and the demand doesn’t seem to be there either.
So I’m thinking of starting from absolute zero and learning coding/CS seriously.
If you were in my position, what would you do?
Where should I start? What should I learn first? Which resources/courses are actually worth it? And realistically, what kind of roadmap should I follow to become employable and start making money?
I know I’m late compared to people who started coding at 18, but I’m willing to put in the work. I just need some direction because I have no idea where to begin.
Feel free to judge me lol, but I genuinely need to learn a skill and start earning.

CAN I DO CS50AI

OR I SHOULD DO CS50X FIRST
