Tell us what’s happening:

I need help checking my code. I thought that this would pass after I have been working on it over the past couple of hours. I tried it with input parameters and it was working. Can anyone help me with where I have gone wrong. This is showing as wrong on almost every step although it gives the correct output from what I have tested.

Your code so far

full_dot = '●'
empty_dot = '○'

def create_character(character_name, strength, intelligence, charisma):
    if not type(character_name == str):
        return(print('The character name should be a string'))
    if character_name == '':
        return(print('The character should have a name'))
    if ' ' in character_name:
        return(print('The character name should not contain spaces'))
    if len(character_name) > 10:
        return(print('The character name is too long'))
        
        return(character_name)
    
    stats = [int(strength), int(intelligence), int(charisma)]

    if type(stats) == int:
        return(print('All stats should be integers'))
    if strength < 1 or intelligence < 1 or charisma < 1:
        return(print('All stats should be no less than 1'))
    if strength > 4 or intelligence > 4 or charisma > 4:
        return(print('All stats should be no more than 4'))
    if strength + intelligence + charisma != 7:
        return(print('The character should start with 7 points'))
        return(stats)
        
    strength = full_dot * strength + empty_dot * (10 - strength)
    
    intelligence = full_dot * intelligence + empty_dot * (10 - intelligence)
    charisma = full_dot * charisma + empty_dot * (10 - charisma)
    
    return(print(f'''{character_name}
STR: {strength}
INT: {intelligence}
CHA: {charisma}'''))

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

are you sure this is what you need to do?

character_name == str will be always True or False, meaning that the type will always be bool, is this what you want to do here?

you are creating stats on the line above, right? stats is a list, so its type does not depend on the parameters, right?

Thank you. I realise where I’ve gone wrong now. Still very new to this :slight_smile:
