Re: CISC 1110: Reorganized code #63 - Standard output not as expected

[Manor Perets]

The files size now is equal, 449 bytes (dependent on my identical input of the various dimensions), and file comp returns "Files compare OK" but CodeLabs is still not happy. (as comparison is OK I guess there's no need for cygwin).

You know, I'd like to compare to the original code CodeLab provided, before we started writing the functions. Then I'd be able to compare original output to modified. Would you have a copy of that? Naturally, the code provided by CodeLab was overwritten and I can't get it back.

BTW, CodeLabs does not show a link, in this case, to the first character that may be different.

Best wishes,
Manor Perets

Well, if they're not the same size, then they're different!
So that confirms that there is some difference between your
modified code and the original.

Sometimes CodeLab has a link that shows the first character that
is different. Have you tried clicking that?

PS: another possible approach you might take is to install cygwin on your system and use the diff command (it's from unix and it is far more comprehensive than "comp").

Isabella, was your reorganized code accepted by CodeLabs? Anyone else?

Does anyone have the original code for problem 63, before any function implementation? I'd appreciate if you can post it. I'd like to see the output of that file as compared to my modified code with functions.

My problem was that I did not assign to shape the value back from getChoice. In my computer it still returned the correct answer simply because that info was at the top of the stack.

shape=getChoice("Choose shape [triangle, rectangle, circle]: ");
