### Tell us what’s happening:

i can’t pass 12 and 11 tests, the output is correcte, even when i change the 4,2,1 who has required it worked correctly

### Your code so far

```py
full_dot = '●'
empty_dot = '○'
def create_character(character_name,strength,intelligence,charisma):
    if not isinstance(character_name,str):
        return "The character name should be a string"
    if character_name == "":
        return "The character should have a name"
    if len(character_name) > 10:
        return "The character name is too long"
    if " " in character_name:
        return "The character name should not contain spaces"
    stats={"STR" : strength, "INT" : intelligence, "CHA" : charisma}
    for stat in stats.values():    
        if not isinstance(stat,int):    
            return "All stats should be integers"
    for stat in stats.values(): 
        if stat < 1:
            return "All stats should be no less than 1"
    for stat in stats.values():
        if stat > 4 :
            return "All stats should be no more than 4"
       
    the_sum = strength + intelligence + charisma
    if the_sum != 7:
            return "The character should start with 7 points"

    return f"""{character_name}
STR{full_dot * strength}{empty_dot*(10-strength)}
INT{full_dot * intelligence}{empty_dot*(10-intelligence)}
CHA{full_dot * charisma}{empty_dot*(10-charisma)}"""
         
print(create_character('ren', 4, 2, 1))

```

```auto
print("Actual: ", repr((create_character('ren', 4, 2, 1))))
print("Expected: ", repr('ren\nSTR ●●●●○○○○○○\nINT ●●○○○○○○○○\nCHA ●○○○○○○○○○'))

```

Add this code to the bottom of your file so you can compare actual to expected.

Okay, good. Now you can check the difference between the two strings and fix yours to match what’s expected, right? It looks like a spacing issue.
