Tell us what’s happening:

I am working on the assigment for arithmetic formatter.
The code seems to work and the solution seems correct, yet the tests returns an error. Could someone tell me what the difference between my answer is and whats expected?

Your code so far

def arithmetic_arranger(problems, show_answers=False):
    errorMessage = ''
    line1 = ''
    line2 = ''
    line3 = ''
    answers = ''
    if len(problems) > 5:
        errorMessage = 'Error: Too many problems.'
    for problem in problems:
        split = problem.split(' ')
        operand1 = split[0]
        operator = split[1]
        operand2 = split[2]
        spaceAfter = (4 * ' ')
        if operator == '*' or operator == '/' in problem:
            errorMessage = "Error: Operator must be '+' or '-'."
        if not operand1.isdigit() or not operand2.isdigit():
            errorMessage = 'Error: Numbers must only contain digits.'
        if len(operand1) > 4 or len(operand2) > 4:
            errorMessage = 'Error: Numbers cannot be more than four digits.'
        maxlength = max(len(operand1), len(operand2))
        absolute = abs(len(operand1) - len(operand2))
        if len(operand1) > len(operand2):
            operand2  = (absolute * ' ') + operand2
        else:
            operand1 = (absolute * ' ') + operand1

        line1 += ('  {}{}'.format(operand1,spaceAfter))
        line2 += ('{} {}{}'.format(operator,operand2,spaceAfter)) 
        line3 += ('{}{}'.format(((maxlength + 2) * '-'),spaceAfter))
        answers += ('  {}{}').format(eval(problem),spaceAfter)
 
    line1 += '\n'
    line2 += '\n'     
    problems = line1 + line2 + line3  
    if show_answers:
        problems += '\n'+ answers

    if errorMessage:
        return errorMessage

    return problems


print(f'\n{arithmetic_arranger(["32 + 698", "3801 - 2", "45 + 43", "123 + 49"])}')

Check the browser console for a more detailed version of the test output

You have extra spaces at the end of each line

thank you very much,
i’ve managed to fix the issue

Hello! I have the same problem and I can’t solve it. Please tell me how you fixed the error?

In my code I added 4 spaces after each operand.
The problem was that the last operand in each line should not have 4 spaces after.

So instead I made it so it only added 4 spaces as long as it was not the last operand of the line, and if it was the last one, add a line break instead.
