Tell us what’s happening:

im facing a TypeError which says “‘<’ not supported between instances of ‘dict’ and ‘int’” what did I do wrong?

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={'STR': strength,'INT': intelligence, 'CHA': charisma }

    for stats in stats.values():
        if type(stats) != int:
            return "All stats should be integers"
        if stats<1:
            return 'All stats should be no less than 1'
        if stats>4:
            return 'All stats should be no more than 4'
    if sum(stats) > 7:
        return 'The character should start with 7 points'
    
    return name
    return 'STR ',full_dot*strength,empty_dot*(10-strength)
    return 'INT ',full_dot*intelligence, empty_dot*(10-intelligence)
    return 'CHA ', full_dot*charisma, empty_dot*(10-charisma)

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

please don’t do this, don’t reuse an existing variable in the loop, give it an unique name

3

like declare a new variable just for the loop?

4

yes, otherwise how can you be sure what is the value of stats?

and here, after the loop, what is the value of stats?

5

the addition of all of the elements? is there a different syntax for when its in a list?

6

no, because now stats does not have the value from stats={'STR': strength,'INT': intelligence, 'CHA': charisma }, it has the value from for stats in stats.values():

so please do not overwrite variables, use a new variable in the loop

okay got it, thank you so much for the help!
