This code extracts all the digits from the string phone_number
and combines them into a new string. Here’s a detailed explanation:
-
filter(str.isdigit, phone_number)
:
Thefilter()
function applies thestr.isdigit
method on each character of thephone_number
string.str.isdigit
checks if a character is a digit (0–9).- Only characters that are digits are included in the filtered result.
-
''.join(...)
:
Thejoin()
function takes the filtered digits and combines them into a single string, with no delimiter (since an empty string''
is specified).
Example:
If phone_number = "(123) 456-7890"
, the code extracts and returns:
'1234567890'
In summary, this code removes all non-digit characters from the string phone_number
, leaving only the digits as a single concatenated string.
