Why does it generate this error for me in Build an RPG Character

Python
1

def create_character(name, strength, intelligence, charisma):

if type(name) is not str:
    return "The character name should be a string."
if name == "":
    return "The character should have a name."
if len(name) == 10:
    return "The character name is too long."
if "" in name:
    return "The character name should not contain spaces."

stats = (strength, intelligence, charisma)
if not all(isinstance(x, int) and not isinstance(x, bool) for x in stats):
    return "All stats should be integers."
if any(x < 1 for x in stats):
    return "All stats should be no less than 1."
if any(x > 4 for x in stats):
    return "All stats should be no more than 4."
if sum(stats) != 7:
    return "The character should start with 7 points."

full = "â—Ź"
empty = "â—‹"

def bar(v):
    return full * v + empty * (10 - v)

return "\n".join([
    name,
    "STR " + bar(strength),
    "INT " + bar(intelligence),
    "CHA " + bar(charisma),
])

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.

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.
