1,090 Pointsi cant see why this code is wrong?
My code seems correct to me. please can you advise....
def suggest(product_idea):
return product_idea + "inator"
product_idea = input("Product Idea ? ")
if product_idea <= 3:
raise ValueError("needs to be 3 or more characters long")

- all the new code should go in the "suggest" function
- all code inside a function must be indented
- the testing (and possible raising) must be done before the "return" statement
- you'll want to test the length of the string instead of the string itself
- you won't need to "input" anything, just use the argument passed in

1,090 PointsThank you for your help.
I spotted another error. it should have been
if len(product_idea) <=2:
i was doing <=3
