Hey there Sathya Musanipalli ! 👋

I would go back and review this video on Counts. I think the challenge is expecting the usage of Regular Expressions as it's being imported at the top and you should find your solution within that video.

Looking at the example commented out at the bottom, this looks like what the challenge is going to test your function with. I think the re.findall() method would be a good way to approach this 👍
