product_idea = 3
def suggest(product_idea):
if product_idea != 3:
raise ValueError("add more letters")
return product_idea + "inator"
print(format(suggest))

a ValueErro
r if the product_idea is less than 3 characters long". There's a few issues here:
- the length of the string should be tested, not the string itself
- the test should check for less than 3 instead of not equal to 3
- you don't need to add any code outside the function
- you don't need to
print
anything
