Arithmetic Arranger Problem - help!

Can someone help me to see how to fix this code? I already passed by four tests, and i think the main problem is the extra space in the beginning of the second line, and I don’t know how to fix. I will be greatfull for any advices and improvements!

def arithmetic_arranger(problems, choice=False):
    
    
    arranged_problems=""
    results=[]
    if (len(problems) > 5):
      arranged_problems ="Error: Too many problems."       
      return arranged_problems
    else:
        pass 
    
      
        
    for i in problems:     #deve ser - ou +  
        x=i.split()
        
        if (x[1]== "+"or x[1] =="-"):
            pass
                    
        else:
            arranged_problems="Error: Operator must be '+' or '-'."
            return arranged_problems
        
    for i in problems:
        x=i.split()
        
        x1_len=len(x[0])
        x2_len=len(x[2])
        
        if (x1_len > 4 or x2_len > 4):
            
            
            arranged_problems="Error: Numbers cannot be more than four digits."
            return arranged_problems
        else:
            pass
    

    for i in problems:
        x=i.split()
        a=x[0].isnumeric()
        b=x[2].isnumeric()

Thanks!

Please provide a link to your replit so we can run the code and actually see the errors.

Also for a first tipp: you can just add string together, no need to write loops for every single character.

Thank you Jagaya, i did it before, but i changed it to try a different result. I will do this again! here’s the link:

https://replit.com/@lucasqvdo/boilerplate-arithmetic-formatter#arithmetic_arranger.py

arranged_problems=(linha1, linha2,linhadiv,linharesult)

That’s a tuple, not a string :wink:
You want linha1+linha2 and so on.

Done… but it still doesn’t pass on the tests… any more suggestions?

Don’t mark a topic as solved until it is solved :wink:
As for the tests, here is the error message in color:

-   1         1
+   1         1    
?              ++++
- + 2    - 9380
+ + 2    - 9380    
?              ++++

You got trailing spaces at the end of the lines.
