--description--

Within the verify_card_number function, create a variable odd_digits that contains every other digit of the card_number_reversed string.

--hints--

You should have odd_digits = card_number_reversed[::2] within the verify_card_number function.

js
({
    test: () => {
        const transformedCode = code.replace(/\r/g, "");
        const verify_card_number = __helpers.python.getDef("\n" + transformedCode, "verify_card_number");
        const { function_body } = verify_card_number;

        assert.match(function_body, /odd_digits\s*=\s*card_number_reversed\s*\[\s*:\s*:\s*2\s*\]/);
    }
})
