Arithmetic Formatter Error

[Whalzy]

Tell us what’s happening:
No idea why I’m failing the test_arrangement and the test_solution tests. Everything looks good on my end but it seems like the test_module doesn’t like how I solved the programming challenge.

Your code so far

def arithmetic_arranger(problems, boolean = False):
  charRemove = ['[',']',',','\'']
  top = []
  bottom = []
  line = []
  answer = []

  for i in range(0,len(problems)):
    x = problems[i].split()
    if len(problems) > 5:
      arranged_problems = 'Error: Too many problems.'
      break
    elif (len(x[0]) > 4) or (len(x[2]) > 4):
      arranged_problems = 'Error: Numbers cannot be more than four digits.'
      break
    elif (not x[0].isnumeric() or not x[2].isnumeric()):
      arranged_problems = 'Error: Numbers must only contain digits.'
      break
    elif ((x[1] != '+') and (x[1] != '-')):
      arranged_problems = "Error: Operator must be '+' or '-'."
      break
    else:
      top.append(x[0].rjust(5) + ' ' * 4)
      bottom.append(x[1] + x[2].rjust(4) + ' ' * 4)
      line.append('-----' + ' ' * 4)
      if boolean == True:
        answer.append(str(eval(problems[i])).rjust(5) + ' ' * 4)

      v = str(top) + '\n' + str(bottom) + '\n' + str(line) + '\n' + str(answer)
      for i in charRemove:
        v = v.replace(i,'')
      arranged_problems = v

  return arranged_problems

Welcome to the forums @Whalzy; you need to look at the errors the tests are raising:

As you can see, your lines in red (-) do not have the same spacing as the expected lines in green (+).
