Tell us what’s happening:
Can’t seem to figure out the problem. please help me figure it out.
Thanks.

Your code so far
def arithmetic_arranger(problems, solve=False):
firstLine = “”
secondLine = “”
space = " "
dashes = “”

solution = ""
solvedSum = ""

if len(problems) > 5:
    return "Error: Too many problems."
for problem in problems:
    first = problem.split(" ")[0]
    operator = problem.split(" ")[1]
    second = problem.split(" ")[2]
    if (len(first) > 4 or len(second) > 4):
        return "Error: Numbers cannot be more than four digits."
    if not operator in ["+", "-"]:
        return "Error: Operator must be '+' or '-'."
    if not first.isdigit() or not second.isdigit():
        return "Error: Numbers must only contain digits."
    else:
        MaxLength = max(len(first),len(second))
        firstLine += first.rjust(MaxLength+2)
        secondLine += operator + second.rjust(MaxLength+1)
       
       
        for i in range(MaxLength):
            dashes += "-"
        if solve == True:
            if operator == "+":
                solvedSum = str(int(first) + int(second))
            else:
                solvedSum = str(int(first) - int(second))
            solution = str((solvedSum).rjust(MaxLength+2))        
        finalResult = space + firstLine.rstrip() + "\n" + secondLine.rstrip() + "\n" + dashes.rstrip() + space
    arranged_problems = finalResult + "\n" + solvedSum.rstrip() if solve else finalResult        
                
    
return arranged_problems

It seems that you are adding the problems one under the other instead of side by side which is required in the challenge.

Do you mind sharing your repl?
