Build an RPG Character - Build an RPG Character

Tell us what’s happening:

I am running into an issue where my code doesn’t pass test 2: “When create_character is called with a first argument that is not a string it should return The character name should be a string.” I have tried a few variants of the if statement that references this condition, which didn’t work, and when I reviewed the forum, I see that other code with the same statement has passed this test. I’m pretty lost as to what to do here. Can anyone help?

Your code so far

full_dot = '●'
empty_dot = '○'


def create_character(name, strength, intelligence, charisma):
    if not isinstance(name, str): 
        return print("The character name should be a string")
    elif name == '':
        return print('The character should have a name')
    elif len(name) > 10: 
       return print('The character name is too long')
    elif not isinstance(strength, int) or not isinstance(intelligence, int) or not isinstance(charisma, int):
        return print('All stats should be integers')
    elif strength > 4 or intelligence > 4 or charisma > 4:
       return print('All stats should be no more than 4')
    elif strength + intelligence + charisma != 7:
       return print('The character should start with 7 points')
    else:
        return print(
            f'{name}\nSTR {strength * full_dot}{(10 - strength) * empty_dot}\nINT {intelligence * full_dot}{(10-intelligence) * empty_dot} \nCHA {charisma * full_dot}{(10-charisma) * empty_dot}'
        )

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

Welcome to the forum @stephanie !

If you test your function like this:

print(create_character(10, 4, 2, 1))

You will see that your function is actually returning None.

Happy coding!
