438 PointsHow do you raise an exception?
def suggest(product_idea):
return product_idea + "inator"
if product_idea <=len(3):
raise value error("has to be more than 3 characters")

7,950 PointsYou would want to put the value error before the return statement since a function will not run something after it has returned a value.
Also we want the length of the product_idea variable to be less than 3 so we should use the len() function on the product_idea variable
Below is how I solved it
def suggest(product_idea):
if len(product_idea)<3:
raise ValueError()
return product_idea + "inator"
