You included a period in the code you posted. It looks to me based off your screenshot that the period is not included in the output the test is looking for. It is a very perticular and exact test and when they are looking for a returned string it needs to be exact down to the puncuation included in the squared off region of the hint or testing module.

Also happy coding and glad to have you here if you need more help feel free to reply and I and the others here will do our best to guide you along the way. However we are not permitted o give you direct and exact answers to your problems and instead rely on the Socratic method of teaching.

You need to remove the period at the end of the strings returned, definitely.

And you should check your conditions, e.g. if len(name) == 10: should be if len(name) > 10:

Condition if "" in name:

doesn’t really make sense for a non-empty string.
