I am not sure why this is not printing the phone number I defined as a str? Could someone provide some insight. Thanks!
import re
"""
Create a function named phone_numbers that takes a string
and returns all of the phone numbers in the string using re.findall().
The phone numbers will all be in the format 555-555-5555.
"""
str = 555-555-5552
def phone_numbers(str):
print(re.findall(r'\d{3}-\d{3}-\d{4}', str))
