def suggest(product_idea):
    return product_idea + "inator"

if product_idea != "inator":

Hey, Parrisa Brown,

you don't need all of that.

def suggest(product_idea):
    if len(product_idea) < 3: 
        raise ValueError
    return product_idea + "inator"

The code is basically: if the length of the string is less than 3, raise a ValueError.
