Tell us what’s happening:
Hi, I’m having some problems with my create_spend_chart function. The chart seems to match the expected one perfectly but I guess there must be some whitespace issues or something. Could I get some help understanding the error I get from the test suite? I’ll post my code if necessary. Thank you.

If it helps I’m filling every line one by one (with a loop) and then I add them to a single string to return, like so:

for m in lines:
finalprint += ‘\n’+m

return finalprint

Your code so far (the error I get)

Traceback (most recent call last):

This part here, it shows an extra space character at the end of the line (that is what that plus sign means at the bottom)

You also seem to have extra spaces on the first three lines.

And you seem to be missing the very last line of output completely?

You are absolutely right, the extra space at the beginning was main thing screwing me up. I was finally able to see all my mistakes thanks to the preformatted text here in my post! I need a better text editor Thank you forums!
