Task2: What am I doing wrong?

Could you please tell me what I am doing wrong for Task 2? I seem to get an error. Thank you!

Hi Shavez Memon! The instructions ask you to:

only print out the trios? It should still use the joined string format from task 1.

You still have all the members being printed out from the first task. They want you to change the for loop from the first task to only print the trios. Hope this helps. Happy coding! :)

Ya I believe that's what I tried to do for the 2nd task and get this error: Uh oh, I found a non-trio!

My code for task 2 is:

for members in musical_groups:

if len(members) == 3:

    print(members)

Hello again, Shavez Memon! Sorry it took so long to get back to you.

Is that all of your code for task 2? Because you still need the for loop too:

for members in musical_groups:

Hope this helps! :)

Hello, thanks for responding.

No sir, my code (as shown above) is:

for members in musical_groups:

if len(members) == 3:

    print(members)

Oops! Sorry, Shavez Memon, my bad. :blush: I missed that.

I should have caught this before: ", ".join(members) (Currently you just have print(members) )

Thanks for being patient with me. Let me know the result. :)
