Tell us what’s happening:

I have seen the other answer. Not working. what does it mean by valid. I added 2 to the last in the card_number too not working. Any other solutions for this problem

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:
        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
    
    return total % 10 == 0

def main():
    card_number = '4111-1111-4555-11412'
    card_translation = str.maketrans({'-': '', ' ': ''})
    translated_card_number = card_number.translate(card_translation)

    if verify_card_number(translated_card_number):
        print('VALID!')
    else:
        print('INVALID!')
    
main()

By valid it means card number that would verify as being valid. Step 34 started with such card number.

3

if you add one extra number it is still invalid, you need to change some numbers to make it valid
