Describe your issue in detail here.

Your code so far

def verify_card_number(card_number):
    sum_of_odd_digits = 0
    card_number_reversed = card_number[::-1]
    odd_digits = card_number_reversed[::2]

    for digit in odd_digits:
        sum_of_odd_digits += int(digit)

    sum_of_even_digits = 0
    even_digits = card_number_reversed[1::2]
    
    for digit in even_digits:
        if digit >= 10:
            print(digit)
            digit = int(digit)*2

Hi @vsudhakarnaidu31,
Try reset and reattempt.

You have declared the variable number in previous task.
Now you are trying to print it. But you want a condition to be checked before printing.

And below is a picture of the steps to guide:

for loop:
   declaring variable
    if condition:
        print function

:+1: Happy coding

It is great that you solved the challenge, but instead of posting your full working solution, it is best to stay focused on answering the original poster’s question(s) and help guide them with hints and suggestions to solve their own issues with the challenge.

We are trying to cut back on the number of spoiler solutions found on the forum and instead focus on helping other campers with their questions and definitely not posting full working solutions.

Hi. Sorry for that. I didn’t mean to brag. My technical English isn’t sufficient to quickly explain what’s the issue was. I just wanted to help quickly, that’s why dropped a screenshot. That was my first comment on the forum. My apologies for that. Thanks for pointing that out.
