Tell us what’s happening:

i tried all types of indentation and order of this code, but the code wont pass even when i have the correct output. i dont what is going wrong pls help!!

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:

# User Editable Region

        sum_of_odd_digits += int(digit)
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:
        number = int(digit) * 2
        if number >= 10:
            number = (number // 10) + (number % 10)
        sum_of_even_digits += number
    total = sum_of_odd_digits + sum_of_even_digits
    print(total)
    

# User Editable Region

def main():
    card_number = '4111-1111-4555-1142'
    card_translation = str.maketrans({'-': '', ' ': ''})
    translated_card_number = card_number.translate(card_translation)

    verify_card_number(translated_card_number)

main()

It looks like you made extra changes, as the User Editable Region should start with sum_of_even_digits.

I would reset the step and only add the two lines requested.

3

Sorry but i tried reseting the step and retrying the step but it does not work. can u explain more clearly how to debug the error.

Can you please post your updated code?

To confirm, you only typed 2 lines of code and absolutely nothing else?

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

    sum_of_even_digits = 0

        sum_of_even_digits += number
    total = sum_of_odd_digits + sum_of_even_digits
    print(total)

please share all the code you have in the file?

I’ve edited your post to improve the readability of the code. When you enter a code block into a forum post, please precede it with a separate line of three backticks and follow it with a separate line of three backticks to make it easier to read.

You can also use the “preformatted text” tool in the editor (</>) to add backticks around text.

See this post to find the backtick on your keyboard.
Note: Backticks (`) are not single quotes (').

if that is actually your code you have repeated code

oh thanks very much i did not realise
