Can you please raise a ValueError if the product_idea is less than 3 characters long? product_idea is a string.

I have no idea what are they talking about.

suggestinator.py 
def suggest(product_idea):
    return product_idea + "inator"

What this challenge is asking for is very similar to what was done with the "split_check" function in the first two minutes of the Raising Exceptions video.

The main difference is that the video example tested a numeric argument, but this time you will test the length ("len()") of a string.
