It keeps saying:
File "task_one.py", line 5
return product_idea + "inator"
^
TabError: inconsistent use of tabs and spaces in indentation
def suggest(product_idea):
numberOfCharacters = len(product_idea)
if numberOfCharacters < 3:
raise ValueError("Your product's name has to be a minimum of 3 characters long")
return product_idea + "inator"
try:
productIdea = str(input("What would you like to call your idea? "))
except ValueError as err:
print("Oh no! Something has gone wrong!")
print("({})".format(err))
