Hi @tanishaabatra ,

Please double check your validation messages. Do they match exactly to the instructions? Look closely.

Happy coding!

Hi @tanishaabatra,

Take a close look at your return and how everything is aligned. Add a second call that is just a print that invokes create_character so that you can better see the alignment on screen and follow the instructions carefully with spacing, paying close attention to where the steps want the output to be.

Think of the steps in these projects as a very picky boss who wants the display their way or the highway lol

Happy Coding!

Hi @tanishaabatra ,

Your function stops processing when it hits return, so it is not seeing the strings after that. You see None in the console because your function does not return anything.

Happy coding!

11

I went ahead and combined your posts for you. In the future, just reply to the original thread to add further updates.

12

To see what you function returns in the console, build your function call like this:

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

Now you should be able to see the difference between what your code returns and what is expected.

Please do not create duplicate topics for the same challenge/project question(s). If you need more help then respond back to the original topic you created with your follow up questions and/or your updated code and question.

Your duplicated topics have been unlisted.

Thank you.

When you enter a code block into a forum post, please precede it with three backticks to make it easier to read.

You can also use the “preformatted text” tool in the editor (</>) to add the backticks.

We cannot test your code when it is not formatted. The code in your post is showing no indentation…very important in Python.

Is there something you did not understand in the code formatting instructions that we can help with?

Also, you are now calling your function with a print(), so you should be seeing what your code produces in the console.

How does that differ from what the tests expect? Another way to call your function so you can see the newline characters is to call it like this:

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

Once you see the differences, you should be able to fix your code to return the expected string.
