Anyway, your syntax error was just leaving off the colon (:) at the end of the "for" line. But even after fixing that, you'll still need more code to handle the instruction that asks you to "output the members joined together with a ", " comma space as a separator". The word "joined" is a clue there, and the "join" function is perfect for doing this job.

PHP Development Techdegree Graduate 20,208 PointsHey Ed, I spent some time on this challenge too and ended up placing my code in an online python REPL testing multiple solutions. Ultimately, the following worked for me and passed the quiz:
For the print statement, I added text before the join statement to print out which group I was on.
