Build a Budget App Project - Build a Budget App Project

Tell us what’s happening:

Build A Budget App Project.
I can’t figure it out what’s wrong with my code in section create_spend_chart(categories). The output and the length of string are the same as the example.
Please help

Your code so far

Hey, create_spend_chart should return a string. Once you return the string, you can open the console (F12) and see the difference between your output and the expected one:
image
The first line is yours, the second is the expected. You have extra spaces in one line and some "o"s are not in the right place.

I forgot to delete the spaces in the first line, but the other one I don’t get it, did I do something wrong with percentage calculation

Are you doing this?

The percentage spent should be calculated only with withdrawals and not with deposits.
