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 (').

For arithmetic_arranger(['3801 - 2', '123 + 49']), the expected return value:

  3801      123
-    2    +  49
------    -----

Your function returns:

  3801   123
-    2 +  49
------ -----
