What code can I use to detect if a string comes back less than 3 characters long?
I know I can't use < 3 or < (" ") with three spaces. Would I need to create a new function for this?
def suggest(product_idea): if product_idea < 3 raise ValueError return product_idea + "inator"

Hi there. Kyler Aagard! I received your request for assistance. I feel like you might have forgotten the
len() which will return the length of a string (or list or dictionary).
school = "Treehouse" school_length = len(school)
At the end of this,
school_length will contain the value 9.
Hope this helps!
