Build an RPG Character - Build an RPG Character

Tell us what’s happening:

Hello, I am having difficulty passing steps 18 and 19. My code seems to be creating the right output, but it isn’t checking off. I don’t know if I’m missing a space or character somewhere or if it is something deeper in the code. Also, any advice for writing cleaner code in general is appreciated!

Your code so far

full_dot = '●'
empty_dot = '○'

def create_character(name, strength, intelligence, charisma):
    if type(name) != str:
        return("The character name should be a string")
    elif name == "":
        return("The character should have a name")
    elif len(name) > 10:
        return("The character name is too long")
    elif " " in name:
        return("The character name should not contain spaces")
    elif type(strength) != int or type(intelligence) != int or type(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 strength + intelligence + charisma != 7:
        return("The character should start with 7 points")
    else:
        return(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)
print(create_character('ren', 4, 2, 1))

Welcome to the forum @jbot

The output should appear like this:

ren
STR ●●●●○○○○○○
INT ●●○○○○○○○○
CHA ●○○○○○○○○○

Try removing the extra back slash.

Happy coding
