What am I doing wrong here? My steps 11 and 12 are not getting done

do you have all these \ here or it is an issue with the forum formatting the code automatically?

maybe post your code again formatting it youtself

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.

See this post to find the backtick on your keyboard.
Note: Backticks (`) are not single quotes (').

I am having issue with `RPG step 11 and 12.` 
```
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 not 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 = [strength, intelligence, charisma]
    if not all(isinstance(stat, int) for stat in stats):
        return 'All stats should be integers'
    if any(stat<1 for stat in stats):
        return 'All stats should be no less than 1'
    if any(stat>4 for stat in stats):
        return 'All stats should be no more than 4'
    if sum(stats) != 7:
        return 'The character should start with 7 points'
    def stat_bar(value):
        return full_dot*value + empty_dot*(10-value)

    result = (f"{name}\\n" + f"STR {stat_bar(strength)}\\n" + f"INT {stat_bar(intelligence)}\\n" + f"CHA {stat_bar(charisma)}")
    return result
    
print(create_character('ren', 4, 2, 1))
```

why are you escaping the new line characters?

6

Output `` ren\nSTR ●●●●○○○○○○\nINT ●●○○○○○○○○\nCHA ●○○○○○○○○○``` if i use \n it is giving me same error and it give output in new line which shows in example. i tried following :

(1) result = (f"{name}\\n" + f"STR {stat_bar(strength)}\\n" + f"INT {stat_bar(intelligence)}\\n" + f"CHA {stat_bar(charisma)}")                   (2) result = (f"{name}\n" + f"STR {stat_bar(strength)}\n" + f"INT {stat_bar(intelligence)}\n" + f"CHA {stat_bar(charisma)}")
7

please stop escaping \n, you need the final string to be on multiple lines

please post your full updated code if you need more help

Thank you for assistance. Today before it was not working and i was getting output same as shown in example. Now my code is working with \n . Appreciate your help
