Say More, Agent: Enforcing Answers Length
You're building a real estate assistant that helps users find homes based on their preferences. Sometimes, the agent gives overly brief or vague recommendations, like "You should check out this house in Brooklyn."
To make responses more helpful, you want to validate that each answer contains at least 200 characters. If it's too short, the agent should try again using your error message as guidance.
In this exercise, you'll write a validation function that checks the length of a response.
