Hello,
I stuck at Step 44 from Medical Data Validator. It is probably some formatting error, because if I change the data, the validation works, and the output looks also good (at least for me)
For example deleted the “V” from the first ‘last_visit_id’
Console Output: Unexpected format ‘last_visit_id: 2301’ at position 0
part of the code:
for key in invalid_records:
print(f"Unexpected format ‘{key}: {dictionary[key]}’ at position {index}")
Thanks you

Thank you.
The problem was the missing period at the end of “print”
You need to iterate through the key elements of the elements that return invalid values.
Since you already have the index from the chained iteration, you only need the value, or val in this case.
For val, we need to access the dictionary[kay] using square bracket notation.
I hope this helps; I was also stuck on this step for a while.

This sounds more like a formatting issue than a validation issue. I’ve seen cases where the output looked correct visually, but the tests were expecting a slightly different format. Double-check spaces, punctuation, and the exact structure of the printed message.
