I'm stock with this problem from "Raising exceptions" here it goes:

Question

"I've made a function that creates brand new product names using "artificial intelligence".
I have a problem though, people keep on adding product ideas that are too short. It makes the suggestions look bad.
Can you please raise a ValueError if the productidea is less than 3 characters long? productidea is a string. Thanks in advance!"
...And my progress stops in here:
def suggest(productidea):
    suggest = len(input())
    return productidea
if product_idea != len > 3:
    raise ValueError("the product idea is too short")
    print = input("whats the product idea?")

For this challenge, you only need to add a test ("if") and "raise" to the existing code.  You won't need to "input" anything.
Also, to get the length of something, you pass that thing as an argument to the "len()" function.  You wouldn't use the word "len" by itself.
And when posting code to the forum, use Markdown formatting (https://teamtreehouse.com/library/code) to preserve the appearance (particularly lines and indenting).
