def suggest(product_idea):
  if product_idea < 3:
    raise ValueError("")
    return product_idea + "inator"

You're close, but:

  • you'll want to test the length of the "product_idea", not the string itself
  • the indentation needs to be adjusted so the "return" is not controlled by the "if" statement
