Issue when completing the Solidity Smart Contract course

[ElijahT5C]

Hi everyone! I'm doing the Cyfrin Updraft course on how to code smart contracts in Solidity. Here is the code and then my question:

// SPDX-License-Identifier: MIT
pragma solidity 0.8.26;

contract SimpleStorage {
uint256 public myFavoriteNumber;

struct Person{
    uint256 favoriteNumber;
    string name;
}

Person[] public listOfPeople;

function store (uint256 _favoriteNumber) public {
    myFavoriteNumber = _favoriteNumber;
}

function retrieve() public view returns(uint256) {
    return myFavoriteNumber;
}

function addPerson(string memory _name, uint256 _favoriteNumber) public {
    listOfPeople.push( Person(_favoriteNumber, _name) );
}

}

I cannot input the values into addPerson and then get the output on listOfPeople. It just returns nothing. I asked ChatGPT why that is and it said I have to manually add a getter function. But I went back and it shouldn't be necessary to do that, since I added "public" on line 12 in the code. I asked ChatGPT about that as well and it said that's correct that you don't have to add a getter then, but you still have to do that to run the code? I was a little bit confused. Is there something wrong with the curriculum or did I just miss something?

I'm just trying to learn everything correctly and not skip anything. Would be grateful if someone could explain this to me. Thank you!

Hello @ElijahT5C, So I copied your code and ran it in Remix, and everything worked fine for me.

So I am unsure what the problem is for you. Maybe add a person and try to retrieve the person and show your remix, as I have shown mine above, so we can maybe catch the issue with your process.

Alright, I see now. When I input the values name and a number it returns it in the terminal, but not in the deployed contracts tab in Remix. It doesn't do that for me, but it does return it in Terminal so it works either way. I was confused why nothing happened. Strange that you get an output but I don't. Anyways, thank you for your help!
