I'm having an issue with the Date Validation challenge in the Intro to Comp. Sci. course.

I'm stuck on the last step, getting a message that says "You changed your code in an unexpected way." I've already tried starting over, but I got the error message again. Can anyone help?

Code is as follows:

day = int(input("Enter a day (1-31): "))
if day < 1 or day > 31:
print("Error. Day must be between 1 and 31.")

month = int(input("Enter a month (1-12): "))

year = int(input("Enter a year: "))

if month < 1 or month > 12:
print("Error. Month must be between 1 and 12.")

if month == 6 and day > 30 or month == 4 and day > 30 or month == 9 and day > 30 or month == 11 and day > 30:
print("Error. Day must be within the month.")

if year <= 999 or year >= 9999:
print("Error. Year must have four digits.")

I see two unusual things in your code.

`if month == 6 and day > 30 or month == 4 and day > 30 or month == 9 and day > 30 or month == 11 and day > 30:`
is very long. It would be much shorter to combine it as
`if (month == 6 or month == 4 or month == 9 or month == 11) and day > 30:`

`if year <= 999 or year >= 9999:`
is wrong; that will print the error message when year = 9999, even though that is a 4-digit year.
If you change it to
`if year <= 999 or year > 9999:` (or `if year < 1000 or year > 9999:`)
then I think you will pass the challenge.

P.S. I think you will probably get help faster by posting a Question below the video or article preceding the Challenge. I'm happy to share the trick for how to keep leading spaces when posting in the discussion section.
