issues getting stored value

[Fran6ix-coder]

i stored a number in my smart contract using the store function.
this is the code

contract SimpleStorage {
    uint256 myFavoriteNumber;
    struct Person {
        uint256 favoriteNumber;
        string name;
    }
    // uint256[] public anArray;
    Person[] public listOfPeople;

    mapping(string => uint256) public nameToFavoriteNumber;

    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));
        nameToFavoriteNumber[_name] = _favoriteNumber;
    }
}

and i used "cast send 0xf39Fd6e51aad88F6F4ce6aB8827279cffFb92266 "store(uint256)" 123 --rpc-url $RPC_URL --private-key $PRIVATE_KEY" to send the number 123 to the store function as my favourite number.

i then wanted to see my favourite number so i used another command which is "cast call 0xf39Fd6e51aad88F6F4ce6aB8827279cffFb92266 "retrieve()" " to call the retrieve function to return my favourite number yet the output i get is zero.
please can someone help me fix this issue

That might be an issue with Foundry cast If you test this on a deployed contract to sepolia using sepolia etherscan then you won't run into an issue of such I believe.
