Don't understand the fail msg

Python

It seems like all the fails are because of a display problem I’m just not sure what it is.

import re


def arithmetic_arranger(problems, solve = False):
   
  top = ""
  bottom = ""
  line = ""
  answer = ""
  #Errors 
  for problem in problems:       
    if(re.search("[*]" or "[/]" , problem)):
      return "Error: equations must be addition or subtraction."
      
        
    first_num = problem.split(" ")[0]
    operator = problem.split(" ")[1]
    second_num = problem.split(" ")[2]

    if(len(first_num) >= 5) or len(second_num) >= 5:
      return "Error: numbers cannot be more than four digits."
    if(re.search("[^sa-zA-Z0-9.+-]" , first_num or second_num)):
        return "Error: Numbers must only contain digits."

    sum = ""
    if(operator == "+"):
      sum = str(int(first_num) + int(second_num))
    elif(operator == "-"):
      sum = str(int(first_num) - int(second_num))

    length = max(len(first_num), len(second_num))
    top = str(first_num).rjust(length)
    bottom = operator + str(second_num)
    line = ""
    answer = str(sum).rjust(length)
    for x in range(length):
      line +="-"

    if problem != problems[-1]:
      top += top + " "
      bottom += bottom + " "
      line += line + " "
      answer += answer + " "
    else :
      top += top
      bottom += bottom
      line += line
      answer += answer
      
  if solve:
    display = top + "/n" + bottom + "/n" + line + "/n" + answer
  else:
    display = top + "/n" + bottom + "/n" + line
  print(display)

One of the errors:

Please don’t spam multiple posts if a post gets caught in the review filter. Thanks.

I was trying to format it so it wouldn’t get caught in the automatic filter… I didn’t think it would upset anyone sorry.

5

why was this post unlisted?

6

I unlisted two of your three posts. You don’t need three threads about the same thing

7

yes but this is the only post with my code in it

8

You had a link to your code in the post you decided to delete.

Since you deleted the only post that wasn’t unlisted, I’ll re-list this post.

10

oh i’m sorry it didn’t show up like it did in this post.

11

The link is better because it lets us see all of the test output.

It looks like you are printing the results instead of returning them.

Welp, the error is straightforward: the actual outpu is None and the expected_output is a string :wink:
