Suggestinator help

I am losing my mind.

def suggest(product_idea):
    len(product_idea) > 3
    product_idea = input("Insert product idea")
    return product_idea + "inator"
print("all good")

try:
    product_idea = input("Insert product idea")
    len(product_idea) <= 3
    print(product_idea + "inator")
except:
    len(product_idea) <= 3
    raise ValueError("too short")

You didn't provide a link to the course page; but if I remember this challenge correctly, you may be getting way too fancy.

If this is the challenge I'm thinking of:

  • you won't need to print anything
  • you don't need to input anything
  • you don't need to raise or catch exceptions

Re-read the instructions and see if I'm right. If not, please post a link to the course page and I'll take another look.

Yes, that's the one I remember, except I forgot that the point was raising an exception. I edited that hint, and all the others are correct. Bonus hint: a solution can be constructed by adding only 2 lines of code.
