Regular expression

Question

Please can someone help me with this;

import re
#your code goes here
user_input = input()
pattern = re.compile(r'[189]\d{7}')
if pattern.match(user_input):
print('Valid')
else:
print('Invalid')

I keep failing the 3rd test case( and I don't know why).

Answer 1

You need start "^" and end anchors "quot; (specially end for match), so it won't match strings like "81234567egg"
