How can I resolve an issue with a github code space for C?


Hello I am new to coding I'm currently doing the Harvard cs50x course and we use a code space on GitHub for C and it is no longer loading properly. It either loads fast and I am met with a white background, all the code being normal text, and I can not type in the terminal. Example: Code space

If it does not load fast it will be loading for a while and I will receive this error message I am really new to programming so any help will be appreciated. Thank you


Solution

  • I don't know if I understood the problem correctly, but if you just want to test simple code while the course platform doesn't work properly, you can also use a free online C compiler like the one here or even download a local compiler on your machine for more sophisticated programs in the future and not be at the mercy of online platforms like CodeBlocks or Dev-C++.

    Anyway, regardless of your choice, it is also recommended to contact the course team to ensure how you can proceed in the face of error on the teaching platform.

    Hope you can keep up in your learning process!
