Tell us what’s happening:

I cannot figure why step 10 won’t pass. When I replace one of the arguments with a string, it says “All stats should be integers” so I’m not sure why it isn’t being accepted.

Your code so far

full_dot = '●'
empty_dot = '○'

def create_character(character_name,strength,intelligence,charisma):
    if not isinstance(character_name,str):
        return('The character name should be a string')
    elif character_name=='':
        return('The character should have a name')
    elif len(character_name)>10:
        return('The character name is too long')
    elif  character_name.find(' ')>1:
        return('The character name should not contain spaces')
    elif not isinstance(strength or intelligence or charisma,int):
        return('All stats should be integers')
    elif strength<1 or intelligence<1 or charisma<1:
        return('All stats should be no less than 1')
    elif strength>4 or intelligence>4 or charisma>4:
        return('All stats should be no more than 4')
    elif not (strength+intelligence+charisma)==7:
        return('The character should start with 7 points')
    else:
        return 'ren\nSTR ●●●●○○○○○○\nINT ●●○○○○○○○○\nCHA ●○○○○○○○○○'

step18= 'ren\nSTR ●●●●○○○○○○\nINT ●●○○○○○○○○\nCHA ●○○○○○○○○○'
hi=create_character('ren',4,2,1)
print(hi)

Welcome to the forum @cilantroishere

What is the output of the following print call:

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

Happy coding

I’m mildly confused on this. I changed my current function to accept any name. Now ‘stimpy’ prints ‘stimpy’ and not ren and if I do ‘stim’ it prints stim. However, step 10 still isn’t passing as valid. Is there something else I’m missing?

Please post your updated code.

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

Try:

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

Oh shoot. Ok, nice, I got step 19 complete. That felt nice to get complete. Again though, what am I doing wrong for step 10?

full_dot = '●'
empty_dot = '○'

def create_character(character_name,strength,intelligence,charisma):
    if not isinstance(character_name,str):
        return('The character name should be a string')
    elif character_name=='':
        return('The character should have a name')
    elif len(character_name)>10:
        return('The character name is too long')
    elif  character_name.find(' ')>1:
        return('The character name should not contain spaces')
    elif not isinstance(strength or intelligence or charisma,int):
        return('All stats should be integers')
    elif strength<1 or intelligence<1 or charisma<1:
        return('All stats should be no less than 1')
    elif strength>4 or intelligence>4 or charisma>4:
        return('All stats should be no more than 4')
    elif not (strength+intelligence+charisma)==7:
        return('The character should start with 7 points')
    else:
        strbar='●'*strength+('○'*(10-strength))
        intbar='●'*intelligence+('○'*(10-intelligence))
        chabar='●'*charisma+('○'*(10-charisma))
        #+○*{10-strength}
        return f'{character_name}\nSTR {strbar}\nINT {intbar}\nCHA {chabar}'


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

I looked through some more forum posts to see if I could figure it out and I figured my formatting was weird for step 10 on line 13. I appreciate the help and without you, I wouldn’t have figured out what the issue was with step 19.
