hello everyone,
I’ve had a problem must be missing something with an else statement but got no clue after debugging and error searching. so i can either pass the first half of the test and 20% wrong or fail the first 4 tests and get 40% wrong , weither i choose to put ==True or not. not sure but maybe something with my if and else statement that could mess it up to? my result is set to False in the top

Those pictures are really hard to read. It is better to post the actual error messages.
You should not need result == True, just result.
Edit: AHHHHH - you are overwriting result inside of your loop. Big No-No!
ah sorry my bad ,
with the result==True i get this error
E AssertionError: Expected solutions to be correctly displayed in output when calling "arithmetic_arranger()" with ["3 + 855", "988 + 40"] and a second argument of `True`.
E assert ' 3 988\n+ 855 + 40\n----- -----' == ' 3 988\n+ 855 + 40\n----- -----\n 858 1028'
E 3 988
E + 855 + 40
E - ----- -----
E ? -
E + ----- -----
E - 858 1028
when i remove ==True and just use result this happens.
E AssertionError: Expected different output when calling "arithmetic_arranger()" with ["3801 - 2", "123 + 49"]
E assert ' 3801 123\n- 2 + 49\n------ -----\n 3799 172' == ' 3801 123\n- 2 + 49\n------ -----'
E 3801 123
E - 2 + 49
E - ------ -----
E + ------ -----
E ? +
E + 3799 172
As @JeremyLT stated above, in your for loop you are reassigning a value to result.
if op == "+":
result = int(alpha) + int(bravo)
else:
result = int(alpha) - int(bravo)

both of you thank you so much for the help , @JeremyLT @RandellDawson
