I'm very confused and want to make sure I am doing this correct.

suggestinator.py 
def suggest(product_idea):
    return product_idea + "inator"
    if product_idea < 3
    understand = input("Do you understand? ")
    if understand != "yes":
    raise ValueError("Are you sure you don't get it?")

def suggest(product_idea):
    return product_idea + "inator" # you are returning the moment you enter into the function, this should be at the last, once it have not caught within the raise error
    if product_idea < 3 # is this how you check for the length, do you not need the len function
    understand = input("Do you understand? ") # dont complicate yourself with additional code, not necessary
    if understand != "yes": # not necessary
    raise ValueError("Are you sure you don't get it?") 

# once checked. check again for indentation
