Tell us what’s happening:

Describe your issue in detail here.
In this project, I get a problem for the creat_spend_chart function.
The explaination isn’t clear, I don’t understand it pass the list [‘Food,Clothing,Auto’] or only Food.ledger as an argument

Your code so far

class Category:
    def __init__(self,category):
        self.category = category
        self.ledger = []
        
    def __str__(self):
        title = f"{self.category:*^30}\n"
        items =''
        Total=0
        for item in self.ledger:
            items += f"{item['description'][:23]:23}"+f"{item['amount']:>7.2f}"+'\n'
            Total += item['amount']
        output = title+items+'Total: '+f'{Total:.2f}'
        return output
    
    def deposit(self,amount,description=''):
        if description is None:
            self.ledger.append({"amount": amount, "description": ' '})
        else:

        if self.check_funds(amount):
            if description is None:
                self.ledger.append({"amount": -amount, "description": ' '})
                return True

Learning to describe problems is hard, but it is an important part of learning how to code.
Also, the more you say, the more we can help!

If you make a test chart, the end needs spaces to square it off at the bottom right. In this case you need two more spaces after the last t of entertainment to get to the end of the line.

Calculations seem correct
