Also, while space is allowed by the language, it is considered a "best practice" when calling a method to follow a method name immediately by the open parenthesis.

Treehouse TeacherHi Dennis Eitner ! While we all appreciate your help in the Community, leaving explicit answers that can be copy/pasted directly into a challenge to pass it while not including any explanation is frowned upon. Could you please update your answer to include an explanation? Thanks
