Suggestinator.py

my code is saying it has a ValueError for suggestinator.py also is it okay if i use str(3) for the if statement since it won't let me use a int

suggestinator.py 
def suggest(product_idea):
    if product_idea >= str(3):
        raise ValueError("less than 3 characters long")

    return product_idea + "inator"

You'll want to test the number of characters in product_idea by using the length (len) function
