Python Development Techdegree Student 763 PointsUnsure why I receive the error as follows: Error: test_exception_not_raised (_main_.TestRaiseExcecution)
import math
def suggest(product_idea):
if len(product_idea) < 3:
raise ValueError("Please try again.")
return product_idea + "inator"
try:
product_idea = input("What is your product name? ")
new_name = suggest(product_idea)
except ValueError as err:
print("Oh no! At least 3 characters are required to create a name")
print("({})".format(err))
else:
print("The brand new product name is {}".format(new_name))

When the checker hits an unexpected input statement, it doesn’t have any input to offer so the checker effectively hangs. The error you see is raised by internal checker code.
Post back if you need more help. Good luck!!!

Python Development Techdegree Student 763 PointsI've discovered the correct way to complete this challenge but I am still interested in why I had the error for the rest of the code.
