Arithmetic Formatter help beginner

[Megigi1]

Hi Guys,

i am new in Python or any programming so if someoone could be so kind and help me. I am trying to find mistake in week already and I gave up. It is printing me only first numbers but the rest from output it is not showing. Can someoone help me with that, I would be really happy.

def arithmetic_arranger(problems):

    # 1 len
    if len(problems) > 5:
            return "Error: Too many problems."

    for e, number in enumerate(problems, start=0):

            num1, operator, num2 = number.split(" ")

            num1_len = len(num1)
            num2_len = len(num2)
            operators = ["+", "-"]


            # 2 operator
            if operator not in operators:
                    return "Error: Operator must be '+' or '-'."
            # 3 digits
            if num1.isdigit() == False:
                    return "Error: Numbers must only contain digits."
            if num2.isdigit() == False:
                    return "Error: Numbers must only contain digits."
            # 4 width
            if num1_len > 4:
                    return "Error: Numbers cannot be more than four digits."
            if num2_len > 4:
                    return "Error: Numbers cannot be more than four digits."

            row_1 = ''
            row_2 = ''
            row_3 = ''
            row_4 = ''

            if operator == "+":
                    total = int(num1) + int(num2)
            else:
                    total = int(num1) - int(num2)

            #space
            space = max(num1_len, num2_len) + 2

            extra_space = '    '

            row_1 += num1.rjust(space)
            row_2 += operator + num2.rjust(space-1)
            row_3 += '-' * space
            row_4 += str(total).rjust(space)



            row_1 += extra_space
            row_2 += extra_space
            row_3 += extra_space
            row_4 += extra_space



            if problems:
                    solution = row_1 + '\n' + row_2 + '\n' + row_3 + '\n' + row_4

            else:
                    solution = row_1 + '\n' + row_2 + '\n' + row_3



            return solution


    return problems

print(arithmetic_arranger([“32 + 698”, “3801 - 2”, “45 + 43”, “123 + 49”]))

return solution

As soon as your function encounters a return statement, the function immediately stops. This return statement in inside your loop, so your code will only run the loop once, see the return statement, and immediately stop.
