Need help with suggestinator.py. Extremely stumped.

Please help me. I have been trying this for about an hour now and I am extremely stumped at this point. Thank you!

suggestinator.py 
def suggest(product_idea):
    if product_idea < 3:
        raise ValueError("Product idea is less than 3 characters long.")
    return product_idea + "inator"

Figured it out on my own! 

def suggest(product_idea):
    if len(product_idea) < 3:
        raise ValueError
    return product_idea + "inator"
