Problem Set 1
Collaboration on problem sets is not permitted except to the extent that you may ask classmates and others for help so long as that help does not reduce to another doing your work for you, per the course’s policy on academic honesty.
What to Do

- Once your codespace has loaded, close any Welcome tabs that might have opened by default
- In Codespace’s terminal, complete the steps under SSH at cs50.readthedocs.io/github/#ssh to configure your codespace for some of CS50’s command-line tools
- Log into submit.cs50.io using your GitHub account and click Authorize to activate check50.
- Run
