Tell us what’s happening:

why this two last part is not passing 11. create_character(‘ren’, 4, 2, 1) should return ren\nSTR ●●●●○○○○○○\nINT ●●○○○○○○○○\nCHA ●○○○○○○○○○.
Failed:12. When create_character is called with valid values it should output the character stats as required

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 " " in name:
        return "The character name should not contain spaces"
    stats = [strength, intelligence, charisma]
    if not all(isinstance(stat, int) for stat in stats):
        return "All stats should be integers"
    if not all(stat >= 1 for stat in stats):
        return "All stats should be no less than 1"
    if not all(stat <= 4 for stat in stats):
        return "All stats should be no more than 4"
    if sum(stats) != 7:
        return "The character should start with 7 points"
    stat_names = ["STR","INT","CHA"]
    output = name + "\n"
    for stat_name, stat_value in zip(stat_names, stats):
        full_dot = '●'*stat_value
        empty_dot = '○'*(10 - stat_value)
        output += f"{stat_name}  {full_dot}{empty_dot}\n"
    return output
create_character('ren', 4, 2, 1)
print(create_character('ren', 4, 2, 1))

write this so you can compare your output and the expected string directly:

print(repr(create_character('ren', 4, 2, 1)))
print(repr('ren\nSTR ●●●●○○○○○○\nINT ●●○○○○○○○○\nCHA ●○○○○○○○○○'))
3

the only difference is my code has \n at the end. can you please show me how to eliminate it?

4

I see also some space differences, not only the \n

there are different ways in which you could eliminate the \n at the end, what would you try?

5

using concatenation instead of interpolation in my output +=

6

how would that make a difference in having the \n at the end or not?

7

can you please tell me what to do?

8

I can’t give you a solution

there are two approaches you can consider

  • do not add the \n at the end
  • remove the \n before returning
