Arithmetic Formatter failing tests but looks ok?

[pkdvalis]

The output looks correct to me, but it’s failing all of the arrangement tests. Please save me?

[JeremyLT]

Can you please show the test output? It looks like you may have spacing issues.

Sorry I was doing some testing. I think it might be trailing spaces after the last problem.

This says that you have 4 extra spaces at the end of these lines

Some people call him Jeremy. I call him only ‘Hero’.

Thank you!

For future coders, the key was looking at the output of the raw string, instead of the formatted output in the console: “print(repr(arranged_problems))”
