I'm stuck here: error: Bummer: 'NoneType' object python import re def first_number(value): print(re.findall(r"\d",value))

Hey @Mircea Dumitrescu (https://teamtreehouse.com/mirceadumitrescu), turns out you’re very close! * a function needs to return a value. Without a return statement a function has default return None. :pointright: replace print with return * the findall (https://docs.python.org/3/library/re.html#re.findall) method returns a list and not a search result object. A list has no group method. :pointright: replace findall with search (https://docs.python.org/3/library/re.html#re.search) Post back if you need more help. Good luck!!!

Hey Mircea Dumitrescu, turns out you’re very close!

a function needs to return a value. Without a return statement a function has default return None. replace print with return
the findall method returns a list and not a search result object. A list has no group method. replace findall with search
