Answer 1

Did you do as I said and put the hyphen character ("-") at the end of the character array on line 3?

Answer 2

Thanks very much.

Answer 3

Not sure about you, but I got an error when I ran your code (using your default input). This was a problem I had before that confused me for some time!

If you want to match a character within a range, you would use something like "[a-z]". The "-" is the symbol that notifies the parser that you are specifying a range. In your array of symbols, "-" is buried in the middle of them all and the parser thinks you are specifying a range, when you just actually want that character. Solution: put "-" at the end 😉

Answer 4

Russ it still doesn't match the digits,

Answer 5

?? It does for me.

What input are you using?

Answer 6

I don't know if the problem is with r"\d+"

Answer 7

Default, it's suppose to output true, but it's false

Answer 8

That part seems to be fine. Like I said, all inputs I try work for me. Can you give me an example of an input that you are trying that hasn't worked?

Answer 9

Does this print False for you if you don't give any input?

Answer 10

import re
pword="Sololearn@8"
pattern = r"[@#amp;_-!?*/\%]"
if len(pword) >5:
if re.search(r"\d+-",pword):
if re.search(pattern,pword):
print("True")
else:
print("False")
else:
print("False")
else:
print("False")
#Output False

Answer 11

You have a "-" after your "\d+". That would be why it doesn't match a number in that example. But that isn't (edit: wasn't) there in the code you posted.

Answer 12

😳. I don't see the difference, but the code you posted runs. Even after removing "-" mine does not

Answer 13

In the 3th if you said find any numbers with a "-" at the next. It has to be r"\d+" that indicates only one or many numbers.
