What should I do here?

I keep getting errors!

suggestinator.py 
def suggest(product_idea):
    return product_idea + "inator"
    try:
        if len(product_idea) < 3:      
            raise ValueError

I am new here so I will try my best. You didn't need try: , what I did was just use if statement and raise the exception before where possible error could occur. I don't know if this is the best answer but it did it for me. it should look like this:

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