(HELP): Can you please raise a ValueError if the product_idea is less than 3 characters long? product_idea is a string.

Here is what I have hashed up..

def suggest(product_idea): return product_idea + "inator" if len(product_idea) < 3: raise ValueError("Your suggestion is too short.")

Hey, I'm guessing all of this would be defined inside a function. I'm not really sure which challenge it is thought. But you would need to have the if before the product idea is returned otherwise the if would never be executed, and it would always return what you send it plus "inator".

Hope this helps!

def suggest(product_idea):

    if len(product_idea) < 3:
        raise ValueError("Your suggestion is too short.")

    return product_idea + "inator"
