Tell us what’s happening:

Why is my code wrong when it gave all the required outputs

full_dot = ‘●’
empty_dot = ‘○’
def create_character(name,STR,INT,CHA):
if type(name) != str:
print(“The character name should be a string”)
elif name == “”:
print(“The character should have a name”)
elif len(name) > 10:
print(“The character name is too long”)
elif " " in name == True:
print(“The character name should not contain spaces”)
else:
if type(STR) != int or type(INT) !

Your code so far

full_dot = '●'
empty_dot = '○'
def create_character(name,STR,INT,CHA):
    if type(name) != str:
        print("The character name should be a string")
    elif name == "":
        print("The character should have a name")
    elif len(name) > 10:
        print("The character name is too long")
    elif " " in name == True:
        print("The character name should not contain spaces")
    else:
        if type(STR) != int or type(INT) != int or type(CHA) != int:
            print("All stats should be integers")
        elif STR <1 or INT <1 or CHA <1:
            print("All stats should be no less than 1")
        elif STR >4 or INT >4 or CHA >4:
            print("All stats should be no more than 4")
        elif STR + INT + CHA != 7:
            print("The character should start with 7 points")
        else:
            STR = "STR "+ full_dot*STR + empty_dot*(10-STR)
            INT = "INT "+ full_dot*INT + empty_dot*(10-INT)
            CHA = "CHA "+ full_dot*CHA + empty_dot*(10-CHA)
            character = name + "\n" + STR + "\n" + INT + "\n" + CHA
            return character

  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 .

Does your code meet this requirement?

Putting it another way, if you were following the directions exactly as asked, you would not need elif statements. You’re overlooking something important in your validation steps.

Thank u, I managed with a different code without elifs.
