Scientific Computing with Python Projects - Arithmetic Formatter

[ladhari.manel]

Tell us what’s happening:
I can’t find the issue in my code but it keeps showing the same mistake

Your code so far

def arithmetic_arranger(problems, show_answers=False):
  if len(problems) > 5:
    return "Error: Too many problems."

  arranged_problems = []
  for problem in problems:
    if '+' not in problem and '-' not in problem:
      return "Error: Operator must be '+' or '-'."
    operand1, operator, operand2 = problem.split()
    if not operand1.isdigit() or not operand2.isdigit():
      return "Error: Numbers must only contain digits."
    if len(operand1) > 4 or len(operand2) > 4:
      return "Error: Numbers cannot be more than four digits."

    operand1 = operand1.rjust(max(len(operand1), len(operand2)))
    operand2 = operand2.rjust(max(len(operand1), len(operand2)))
    operator = operator.rjust(max(len(operand1), len(operand2)))
    dashes = '-' * max(len(operand1), len(operand2))

    arranged_problem = f"{operand1}    {operand2}\n{operator}    {dashes}"
    if show_answers:
      result = str(eval(problem))
      result = result.rjust(max(len(operand1), len(operand2)))
      arranged_problem += f"\n{result}"
    arranged_problems.append(arranged_problem)

  return '    '.join(arranged_problems)

keeps showing the same mistake

Can you share the error message(s) here?

I’ve edited your code for readability. When you enter a code block into a forum post, please precede it with a separate line of three backticks and follow it with a separate line of three backticks to make it easier to read.

You can also use the “preformatted text” tool in the editor (</>) to add backticks around text.

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