Jeff Muday
Treehouse Moderator 28,722 PointsYour code is correct, but just a little out of order. The "if" statement needs to test the length of the product_idea and raise an error before we return the product_idea + "inator"
see below
def suggest(product_idea):
if len(product_idea) < 3:
raise ValueError("Need more that 3 chars")
return product_idea + "inator"
Good luck with your Python journey!

Two brains are always better than one. Thanks man. Great Job! dont get discouraged your built for this.
