Tell us what’s happening:

Describe your issue in detail here.

As a final step, remove the print call from the verify_card_number function, and change the card_number back to something valid.

Saddly - changing words card_number everywhere - doesn’t help at all.

Keep receiving an error:
You should not have a print call within the verify_card_number function.

There are only 2 print calls left - and fun fact - deleting whole IF function with prints - still receive the same error when there’s literally no prints left in the code.

Your code so far

def verify_something_valid(something_valid):
    sum_of_odd_digits = 0
    something_valid_reversed = something_valid[::-1]
    odd_digits = something_valid_reversed[::2]
    for digit in odd_digits:
        sum_of_odd_digits += int(digit)
    sum_of_even_digits = 0
    even_digits = something_valid_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
def main():
    something_valid = '4111-1111-4555-1141'
    card_translation = str.maketrans({'-': '', ' ': ''})
    translated_something_valid = something_valid.translate(card_translation)

    if verify_something_valid(translated_something_valid):
        print('VALID!')
    else:
        print('INVALID!')
main()

first reset and remove the print call from the verify_card_number function as per the instruction.

the instruction also says change the card_number back to something valid doesn’t mean u should change variable name card_number. what it meant is to change the value which is given to variable card_number so that on checking the if condition inside main function prints valid.

to satisfy condition and print valid u should give a number inside '' to card_number inside main function which will satisfy the return total % 10 == 0 of function verify_card_number.

You are right - changing card_number number to make output VALID! solved the issue. Thank you very much. Hope to learn those things, because after completing 2 lessons, cannot understand anything
