Bummer: `first` doesn't seem to be a regex match.

Question

Challenge Question: Import re. Create an re.match() for the word "Four" in the data variable. Assign this to a new variable named first.

Here is my code which is failing. Where am I getting it wrong?

import re

file_object = open("basics.txt")
data = file_object.read()
file_object.close()

first = print(re.match("Four", data))

You won't be using "print" here. The value of the "re.match" should be directly assigned to your variable.

import re

file_object = open("basics.txt")
data = file_object.read()
file_object.close()

first = re.match("Four", data)
