def suggest(product_idea): return product_idea + "inator" if len(product_idea) < 3: raise ValueError
Why does this not work? It gives off error messages? Not sure what to do.

Let me know if this helps here

return product_idea + "inator"
Because otherwise, it will just return a string regardless of the length. Code is being read from top to bottom.
