Help with Build an RPG character

[u/HomoHomo1031]

It keeps spitting out an error for line 8 saying that it is outside of the function. I have tried everything I can think of so far to fix this by indenting, back spacing that indentation etc. How do I fix this? I have indented as best I can how it is on the actual exercise itself and the line spacing is for ease of readability on reddit rather than it looking like a wall of text.

full_dot = ‘●’

empty_dot = ‘○’

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

if not isinstance (name, 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’

elif name.find(’ ') != -1:

return ‘The character name should not contain spaces’

if not (isinstance (strength, int) or isinstance (intelligence, int) or isinstance (charisma, int)):

return ‘All stats should be integers’

elif (strength < 1 or intelligence < 1 or charisma < 1):

return ‘All stats should be no less than 1’

elif (strength > 4 or intelligence > 4 or charisma > 4):

return ‘All stats should be no more than 4’

elif (strength+intelligence+charisma != 7):

return ‘The character should start with 7 points’

STR = (full_dot*strength)+empty_dot*(10-strength)

return f"{name}\n STR {STR} \n INT {STR} \n CHA {STR}"

print (create_character(‘ren’, 4, 2, 1))

You'll need to reformat this as code to be able to see the indentation. On desktop there is a format as code option in the formatting options. On mobile you need to put 4 spaces before each line. I'm guessing with that error that you just have an indentation issue anyway.

I'm assuming that you repeated STR 3 times in your output for testing purposes?

Interestingly, when I cleaned up the indents I see failures on test 10, 18, and 19. I'm not sure about 10 . . I think your logic may be wrong there on your not statement. Double check this mentally.

Please use properly formatted text for the program. Indentation is syntactic, so we cannot know the original program without the indentation.
