Hello ! a new guy learning Python from zero here. I tried to write this code with the knowledge of Python basics lesson juste after the caesar cypher.

Can someone help me and tell me if i do major mistakes or do i need small improvement to finish this exercice properly ?

Thanks for you help and have a good day !

Your code so far

full_dot = '●'
empty_dot = '○'

def create_character(name, strength, intelligence, charisma):
    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 name.count(" ") >= 1:
        return 'The character name should not contain spaces'
    if not isinstance(strength, int) or not isinstance(intelligence, int) or not isinstance(charisma, int):
        return 'All stats should be integers'
    if strength or intelligence or charisma < 1:
        return 'All stats should be no less than 1'
    if strength or intelligence or charisma > 4:
        return 'All stats should be no more than 4'
    if strength + intelligence + charisma != 7:
        return 'The character should start with 7 points'

    STR = strength * full_dot + empty_dot * (10 - strength)
    INT = intelligence * full_dot + empty_dot * (10 - intelligence)
    CHA = charisma * full_dot + empty_dot * (10 - charisma)

    final = f'{name}\nSTR {STR}\nINT {INT}\nCHA {CHA}'
    print(final)

create_character('ren', 4, 2, 1)

Wouldn’t it be nice if we could use that shorthand for our if conditions? But no, each condition between operators (and/or) should be written so it evaluates to true or false.

Also, does create_character return the final string?

print your function call so you can test your function and see what it returns with different test data

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