Build a Medical Data Validator - Step 44

Python

Tell us what’s happening:

I’ve tried all the quotation marks, logged into the neural network, forums, and youtube, but still haven’t completed the lesson. The code works, and even if the data is incorrect, it shows where the error is, but I can’t go through step 44. Help please.

Your code so far

import re


medical_records = [
    {
        'patient_id': 'P1001',
        'age': 34,
        'gender': 'Female',

        'medications': ['Lisinopril'],
        'last_visit_id': 'V2301',
    },
    {

I made the gender invalid in all the objects, but they are not all at position 2

make sure your index value comes from the right place

I took into account what you wrote and made sure that the index was taken from each dictionary, but there is still an error:

You should print Unexpected format '<key>: <val>' at position <index>. (where <key>, <val>, and <index> should be replaced by the current key, value and index) inside your for loop.

What am I doing wrong?

Position refers to the position of the dictionary inside the medical_records list.

Take a minute to look over the entire program and get an understanding of where you currently are in the context of nested loops.

You are iterating over data and now also iterating over invalid_records.

Thank you for hinting and pointing out the mistakes, but I still couldn’t complete step 44. I’ll just skip it. Thanks for the help.
