Arithmetic Formatter: 2 Errors

Python
1

Hi all,
I’m having trouble reading the errors on the arithmetic formatter project. To my understanding, the - lines are my code, and the + are the correct lines, but they look the exact same. I know the ? indicates the difference in the two outputs, but I’m not sure how to interpret it. Thanks in advance!

like this should be more visible

anyway, loot at the lines starting with ?, they point out tbe differences

Thanks for your reply @ieahleen ! I understand that, but the only thing in the ? lines are the 4 dashes. Does that mean the difference is a bunch of spaces?

yes, you have extra spaces at the end of the line
