Hi @loaiesam1234

Welcome to FCC.

I’ve edited your post for readability. When you enter a code block into a forum post, please precede it with a separate line of three backticks and follow it with a separate line of three backticks to make it easier to read.

You can also use the “preformatted text” tool in the editor (</>) to add backticks around text.

See this post to find the backtick on your keyboard.
Note: Backticks (`) are not single quotes (’).

It would also be useful to provide a description of what is not working or what error you are seeing.

It seems you are returning on,y if solve is false, any reason there?
