Tell us what’s happening:

I have written the complete code but it is saying there is some error in line 14 can someone help me because when i am trying to adjust the return in that line then it is saying it is out of the indentation so i am not sure where to put the return in line 14

Your code so far

def arithmetic_arranger(problems, show_answers=False):
    if len(problems) > 5:
        return "Error: Too many problems."

first_line = []
second_line = []
dash_line = []
result_line = []

for problem in problems:
    parts = problem.split()

    if len(parts) != 3:
        return "Error: Each problem must contain two operands and one operator."
        num1, operator, num2 = parts
    if operator not in ['+', '-']:
        return "Error: Operator must be '+' or '-'."
    if not(num1.isdigit() and num2.isdigit()):
        return "Error: Numbers must only contain digits."
    if len(num1) > 4 or len(num2) > 4:
        return "Error: Numbers cannot be more than four digits."
    
width = max(len(num1), len(num2)) + 2

first_line.append(num1.rjust(width))
second_line.append(opreator + num2.rjust(width - 1))
dash_line.append('-' * width)

if show_answers:
    result = str(eval(problem))
    result_line.append(result.rjust(width))

arrange_problems = (
    '   '.join(first_line) + '\n' +
    '   '.join(second_line) + '\n' +
    '   '.join(dash_line)
)
if show_answers:
    arranged_problems += '\n' + '   '.join(result_line)

return arranged_problems

Hi @punitdave000

The message in the console is showing there is an indentation issue with your code. Check every line is correctly indented in the function body.

Happy coding

you should give the correct indentation for your whole code, there are many more lines having an issue than the return statement
