Tell us what’s happening:

I don’t understand where the problem is. I followed all the instructions

Your code so far

def create_character(name, strength, intelligence, charisma):
    # Validate character name
    if not isinstance(name, str):
        return "The character name should be a string."
    if name == "":
        return "The character should have a name."
    if len(name) > 10:
        return "The character name is too long."
    if " " in name:
        return "The character name should not contain spaces."

    # Validate stats are integers
    if not all(isinstance(stat, int) for stat in (strength, intelligence, charisma)):
        return "All stats should be integers."

    # Validate stat minimum
    if not all(stat >= 1 for stat in (strength, intelligence, charisma)):
        return "All stats should be no less than 1."

    # Validate stat maximum
    if not all(stat <= 4 for stat in (strength, intelligence, charisma)):
        return "All stats should be no more than 4."

    # Validate stat sum
    if strength + intelligence + charisma != 7:
        return "The character should start with 7 points."

    # Helper to create dot line
    def stat_line(label, value):
        return f"{label} " + "●" * value + "○" * (10 - value)

    # Build output
    return (
        f"{name}\n"
        f"{stat_line('STR', strength)}\n"
        f"{stat_line('INT', intelligence)}\n"
        f"{stat_line('CHA', charisma)}"
    )

When you test your function, does it work correctly?

  1. When create_character is called with a first argument that is not a string it should return The character name should be a string.

Please note that the period at the end of the sentence is not part of the highlighted section and so should not be included in your return string.

You’re right, the period at the end of the sentence was the issue, I thought it was part of the return string. Thank you !
