The check does not accept my solution altough my code works just fine in workspaces. Can anyone help with a solution that works so that I can actually finish the course? Best regards
def suggest(product_idea,number_of_characters):
if number_of_characters <= 3:
raise ValueError ("More than 3 characters required")
return(product_idea + "inator")
try:
product_idea = input("What is your productidea? ")
number_of_characters = int(len(product_idea))
product_suggestion = suggest(product_idea,number_of_characters)
except ValueError as err:
print("Not a valid value!")
print("({})".format(err))

And you must not change the number or type of argument that the function takes, the challenge validator will be testing it by calling with just one string argument.

def suggest(product_idea):
number_of_characters = len(product_idea)
if number_of_characters <= 3:
raise ValueError ("More than 3 characters required")
return(product_idea + "inator")
