Please talk to us about how the instruction or error message is confusing. Communication is a critical coding skill. Thanks

Can you try talking about how you are stuck please?

Hi @rr7499042

You should not have a print call within the verify_card_number function.

For this step, there are two parts.

Part 1 is remove the print call from the verify_card_number function.

Happy coding
