i'm having a super hard time understanding this; can anyone help me with the "raise an exception" coding challenge
def suggest(product_idea):
if len(product_idea) <= 3:
raise ValueError("Are you sure?")
return product_idea + "inator"
product_idea = suggest(po)
print(suggest)

Also, the criteria for the exception to be raised are when the idea length is"less than 3 characters", so when it is equal to 3 it shouldn't cause an exception.
