I write function as below for this excercise def numbers(count, string): return re.match(r"\d" * count, string)
import re
def first_number(string):
return re.search(r'\d', string)
def numbers(count, string):
return re.match(r"\d" * count, string)

This passed for me by using re.search, instead of re.match.
