Right.

No, what my students did in there was wrong, they only put the
address in there to which the sample I gave them is wired

The addresses to scan should be:
static unsigned short normal_i2c[] = { 0x1c, 0x1d, 0x1e, 0x1f,
   0x2a, 0x4c, 0x4d, 0x4e, 0x4f, I2C_CLIENT_END };

But we better run those past Jean, to see if any of
those are dangerous to scan by default, Jean ?

This means that the address is configurable by hooking up
the IC in different ways, see table 9 and 10 at page 17 of
the data sheet.
