Can someone explain the instructions for what the instructor is asking for?

Here is a multi-dimensional list of musical groups. The first dimension is group, the second is group members.

Can you loop through each group and output the members joined together with a ", " comma space as a separator, please?

I understand the multi-dimensional list of musical groups. However, the question he/she is asking for us to loop through and the output requested is what I do not understand.

Some hints for task 2:

  • You can use the print statement from task 1. No need to create another. Although it will have to be indented.
  • Since you are looping with group you will want to check the length of group
  • Use the comparison operator not the assignment operator when testing the length
  • Your if statement should come before your print statement (from task 1)
