Tell us what’s happening:

Why is my code printing “[object Object]” at the end of every line? I tried running the exact same code through an IDLE editor and it worked as expected. What’s making freeCodeCamp print it differently?

Your code so far

full_dot = '●'
empty_dot = '○'

def create_character(name, strength, intelligence, charisma):
    # Check character name
    if type(name) is str:
        if len(name) <= 10:
            if " " in name:
                return "The character name should not contain spaces"
        else:
            return "The character name is too long"
    else:
        return "The character name should be a string"
    
    # Check stats
    if type(strength) is int and type(intelligence) is int and type(charisma) is int:
        if strength < 1 or intelligence < 1 or charisma < 1:
            return "All stats should be no less than 1"
        else:
            if strength > 4 or intelligence > 4 or charisma > 4:
                return "All stats should be no more than 4"
            else:
                if strength+intelligence+charisma != 7:
                    return "The character should start with 7 points"
    else:
        return "All stats should be integers"
    
    # Loop for generation

    print(name)

    print("\nSTR", end=" ") # Strength loop
    for x in range(strength):
        print(full_dot, end="")
    for x in range(10-strength):
        print(empty_dot, end="")
    
    print("\nINT", end=" ") # Intelligence loop
    for x in range(intelligence):
        print(full_dot, end="")
    for x in range(10-intelligence):
        print(empty_dot, end="")
    
    print("\nCHA", end=" ") # Charisma loop
    for x in range(charisma):
        print(full_dot, end="")
    for x in range(10-charisma):
        print(empty_dot, end="")

print(create_character("ren", 4, 2, 1))

Please read again this instruction:

If all values pass the verification, the function should return a string…

Where are you returning the requested string?

3

our terminal does not support all print features

but anyway, are you sure you are asked to print stuff here?

Thank you so much for the clarification! (If it’s not obvious, my comprehension skills are… subpar, to say the least ;-;
