Define and raising exception problem

I have trouble starting with this function, i was re reviewing materials again and again, but no luck on how to properly fix this. Here's the code how i did that kicks on errors :(

def suggest(product_idea):

suggest = len(input("What's the product idea?"))
product_idea > 3
append += 1
if product_idea < 3:
    raise ValueError("The idea name must be longer!")

Here's a few hints:

  • you don't need to "input" anything, use the parameter instead
  • nothing named "append" has been defined (or will be needed)
  • compare the length of the string instead of the string itself
  • the original "return" must still be done when the test fails
