i did every thing i thought of help
def suggest(product_idea):
if product_idea <= 3:
raise ValueError("your product idea has less than 3 characters in it")
return product_idea + "inator"
try:
except ValueError as err:
print("({})".format(err))

def suggest(product_idea):
if product_idea <= 3: # should be < 3
raise ValueError("your product idea has less than 3 characters in it")
return product_idea + "inator"
