Tell us what’s happening:

I finally finished this project and it gives the required output, however the tests are not approving this. I really cant see where I am going wrong. Please guide me.

Your code so far

import re

    topnum = ' '
    bottomnum = ' '
    lineup = ' '
    answer = ' '

        if len(problems) > 5:
            return 'Error: Too many problems.'
        
        if (re.search('[/]', problem)) or (re.search('[*]', problem)):
                return "Error: Operator must be '+' or '-'."   

        if (re.search(r'[a-zA-Z]', problem)):
            return 'Error: Numbers must only contain digits.'

        first_num = problem.split()[0]
        operator = problem.split()[1]

    else:

Welcome to the forum @1872star

arithmetic_arranger([“3801 - 2”, “123 + 49”]) should return

This is what your code is returning

Happy coding
