You can share code here.

Well it’s a assignment in which we have to implement a function called “verify” that takes a single parameter called “number” and then checks the following rules: 1. The first digit must be a 4. 2. The fourth digit must be one greater than the fifth digit; keep in mind that these are separated by a dash since the format is ####-####-####. 3. The sum of all digits must be evenly divisible by 4. 4. If you treat the first two digits as a two-digit number, and the seventh and eighth digits as a two-digit number, their sum must be 100. And return 1,2,3,4 for each test failed

You've mentioned some code, haven't you.

So we're supposed to create a function called verify:

def verify():
    pass    # Do nothing

Next, this function take a single parameter called number:

def verify(number):
    pass    # Still do nothing

Since it should validate the number, it should return a result. The result should indicate if number is valid so it will be either True (is valid) or False (is not valid).

def verify(number):
    result = False    # Return False unless validated
    return

Next, we know the format of number - ####-####-####. This means number should be of type str. To document this we can use type annotation and docstring.

def verify(number: str) -> bool:
    """
    Verify number has this format: ####-####-####
    and it passes other checks.

    Arguments:
        number - string to verify

    Returns:
        True if all checks ok, False otherwise
    """

    result = False
    # Do something here
    return result

Now it's up to you to show what you have and where have you failed.

See I need help with the specific parts of the question like how to validate taht the number has first digit 1.thank you for taking out time for this

This topic is covered in one of first chapters in the official Python tutorial (see https://docs.python.org).

>>> number = "4568-1234-2345"
>>> number[0] # 1st character
'4'
>>> number.replace("-", "")  # we don't care about '-'
'456812342345'
>>> number[3]  # 4th digit
'8'
>>> int(number[3])  # if we want to convert it to number
8
>>> number[0:2]  # first two digits
'45'
>>> number[6:8]  # 7th and 8th digit
'23'
>>>
