Arithmetic Formatter code review- Fail return on browser

Python
#1

Working on the Arithmetic Formatter I wrote the below code, when testing it locally the solution is fully compliant with requirement .
however when testing on the browser it is throwing a fail.

Can anyone review the code and help me please.

Thank you

Your code so far

import operator

def check_num(s):
  try:
    int(s)
    return True
  except:
    return False

    if len(problems) > 5:
        print('Error: Too many problems.')
    else:

            problem = item.split(' ')
            if not(check_num(problem[0]) and check_num(problem[2])):
                print('Error: Numbers must only contain digits.')
                correct_format = False
                break

            elif problem[1] is not '+' and problem[1] is not '-' :
                print('Error: Operator must be ''+'' or ''-''.')
                correct_format =False
                break

            elif max(len(problem[0]), len(problem[2])) > 4:

                correct_format =False

        return arranged_problems

let’s look at the tests output

for your arranged outputs, you can see the diff test result:

-     3      3801      45      123    
?                                 ----
+     3      3801      45      123
- + 855    -    2    + 43    +  49    
?                                 ----
+ + 855    -    2    + 43    +  49
- -----    ------    ----    -----    
?                                 -----
+ -----    ------    ----    -----

the lines starting with - are yours, and the lines starting with + are the expected output, and the lines with ? mark the difference, notice you have extra characters at the end of each line

for the errors, the Assertion Errors say:

AssertionError: None != 'Error: Numbers cannot be more than four digits.'

you just print the errors, and not return them
