How is this easy?

Question

I’m trying to finish the Zip Code Validator challenge, but Test Case #3 doesn’t seem to budge.

The prompt is basically asking to make sure that there are 5 characters, and that each are numbers.

My code:

zip = input()
numbers = ["0”, “1”, “2”, “3”, “4”, “5”, “6”, “7”, “8”, “9”]

c = 0
for char in zip:
if char in numbers:
c += 1

if c == 5:
print(“true”)
else:
print(“false”)

Anybody see the issue?

Answer 1

...by dodgy quotation marks I mean:

Use " " : neutral, vertical, straight, typewriter, dumb, or ASCII quotation marks.

Not “ ”: typographic, curly, curved, book, or smart quotation marks.

Answer 2

Update: I didn’t account for spaces.

Answer 3

Your code runs, when you remove your dodgy quotes - “7” for example should be "7"

zip = input()
numbers = ["0", "1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "8", "9"]

c = 0
for char in zip:
if char in numbers:
c += 1

if c == 5:
print("true")
else:
print("false")

Answer 4

Nice catch, but I only made that mistake because when I was manually retyping my code into this post, I forgot to change the quotes.
The main issue was resolved by adding:

if char == " "
c -= 1

Under “c += 1”
