So what is the correct answer?

What is wrong with my code and where do we go to find the solution?

suggestinator.py 
def suggest(product_idea):
    if product_idea < len(3):
        raise ValueError('The name is too short')
    return product_idea + "inator"

You're really close! But you'll want to compare the length of "product_idea" to 3, instead of the "product idea" to the length of 3. Numbers don't have a "length" anyway.
