Hi, there
Could you please help me to clarify what is wrong with my code
import re
def find_words(count, string):
num_count = re.findall(r'\w{count,}', string )
return num_count
# EXAMPLE:
# >>> find_words(4, "dog, cat, baby, balloon, me")
# ['baby', 'balloon']

Treehouse Guest TeacherYou can't do string formatting when doing regular expressions. You'll need to find another way to join the count and regex pattern together.

17,772 PointsThis is my code:
def find_words(count, string):
return re.findall(r'\w{}'.format(count),string)
I think I can find the exact match of count long but I can't do the longer count? Is there anybody help me?
