Why is this code not working?

I have tried this code in Visual Studio Code and it's working fine.

musical_groups = [
    ["Ad Rock", "MCA", "Mike D."],
    ["John Lennon", "Paul McCartney", "Ringo Starr", "George Harrison"],
    ["Salt", "Peppa", "Spinderella"],
    ["Rivers Cuomo", "Patrick Wilson", "Brian Bell", "Scott Shriner"],
    ["Chuck D.", "Flavor Flav", "Professor Griff", "Khari Winn", "DJ Lord"],
    ["Axl Rose", "Slash", "Duff McKagan", "Steven Adler"],
    ["Run", "DMC", "Jam Master Jay"],
]
# Your code here
for group in musical_groups:
    print(", ".join(group))

for group in musical_groups:
    if len(group) == 3:
        print(", ".join(group))

It is not working in the editor of treehouse so now I can't finish the challenge.

Hey there,

You do have it!

However, this is just one of those cases where the 'normal' rules for challenges need to be ignored. Normally each task's code would be added to the previous task, but that is not the case here.
The instructions for the second task are a bit ambiguous when it come to this, but they do actually mean to alter the code from task one to output what is wanted for task two.

Here you have the correct code needed, so if you just completely delete the first for loop and leave the second for the second task, it will pass.

Either task, there should only be one loop coded.

Nice work!! :) :dizzy:

tagging Craig Dennis to have a look to see if instructions could be clarified. :)

Hi Jason,

Thank you for clarifying!

I think it's a good idea to clarify the question a bit. :)
