Question

The following code gives the below mentioned errors:
Code:
def suggest(productidea):
    if len(productidea) < 3:
        raise ValueError("Idea is too short")
    return product_idea + "inator"
try:
    idea = str(input("What's your idea? "))
    finalidea = suggest(idea)
except ValueError as err:
     print("Not a good idea")
     print("({})".format(err))
else:
    print("{}".format(finalidea))

1. Understandind the error and its cause
2. Resolving the error
