i can’t pass the test even if my code works, and also i used repr()
can anyone help?
Your code so far
def arithmetic_arranger(problems, display_answers=False):
# error with * and /
first_numbers = []
second_numbers = []
operators = []
answers = []
for problem in problems:
if '+' in problem:
operator = '+'
parts = problem.split('+')
elif '-' in problem:
operator = '-'
parts = problem.split('-')
else:
raise ValueError("Error: Operator must be '+' or '-'.")
first = parts[0].strip()
second = parts[1].strip()
#error with 4 digits
if len(first) > 4 or len(second) > 4:
raise ValueError("Error: Numbers cannot be more than four digits.")
first_numbers.append(first)
second_numbers.append(second)
operators.append(operator)
#error with digits
alowed_chars=['0', '1', '2', '3', '4', '5', '6', '7', '8', '9', '+', '-', ' ']
for problem in problems:
for digit in problem:
if digit not in alowed_chars:
raise ValueError('Error: Numbers must only contain digits.')
# Check digit lengths
if not first.isdigit() or not second.isdigit():
raise ValueError("Error: Numbers must only contain digits.")
#lot of problems
if len(problems)>5:
raise ValueError('Error: Too many problems.')
#output
top = []
bottom = []
dashes = []
answer_row = []
for i in range(len(problems)):
width = max(len(first_numbers[i]), len(second_numbers[i])) + 2
top.append(first_numbers[i].rjust(width))
bottom.append(operators[i] + ' ' + second_numbers[i].rjust(width - 2))
dashes.append('-' * width)
if display_answers:
if operators[i] == '+':
answer = str(int(first_numbers[i]) + int(second_numbers[i]))
else:
answer = str(int(first_numbers[i]) - int(second_numbers[i]))
answer_row.append(answer.rjust(width))
spaces=(' '.join(top) + '\n' + ' '.join(bottom) + '\n'+' '.join(dashes))
if display_answers:
spaces = spaces + ('\n' +' '.join(answer_row))
return spaces

Using repr() as you have done above. You’ll need to clearly label each.
Try to think about how to present what information is needed and how to present it in a legible way. Not only will this help people to help you on the forum, it will help you solve the problem yourself.
the test 5 says that when i enter more than 4 problems it should raise an error, and when i did it, my code show me the error, which means that my code is working, but not passing the test
You need to take the tests extremely literally. It actually does not say you should raise an error. It says your function should return a string. You need to make sure what your function returns is exactly, word for word, spaces and punctuation what is written.

i finallt knew my fault, it was the raise error that i should replace it with a return, Thank you so much for helping me, and sorry if i cause you problems.
I am having issue with the tests, which are failing somehow.
but when i am running the same test data on the function i created i am getting the right error messages:
