should not be str

Question

It is a number between ""s so it is a string

Answer 1

Maybe the question you got was something like this...?

Replace 9 with 0 in the string num

import re
num = "07987549836"
pattern = r"9"
num = re.sub(pattern, "0", num)
print(num)

It's sort of confusing because unlike the example, the fourth line reassigns a value to variable num. However, the fourth line is basically saying to substitute the pattern (9) with (0) in the original num variable.

Sorry if i didng manage to answer your question though...

Answer 2

num = "07987549836"
pattern = r"9"
num = re.sub(pattern, "0",num)

Answer 3

Replace 9 with 0 in the string num

Correct answer:

import re
num = "07987549836"
pattern = r"9"
num = re.sub(pattern, "0", num)
print(num)

It is a challenge cause you're getting towards the end of the thing. Good luck!

Answer 4

num = "07987549836"
pattern = r"9"
num = re.sub(pattern, "0",num)
