Not sure what exactly I am doing wrong to cause the AssertionError: print("I feel like I am missing something important") print("Please explain as clear as possible")
musical_groups = [
["Ad Rock", "MCA", "Mike D."],
["John Lennon", "Paul McCartney", "Ringo Starr", "George Harrison"],

20,147 PointsAssertions are a systematic way to check that the internal state of a program is as the programmer expected, with the goal of catching bugs. In particular, they're good for catching false assumptions that were made while writing the code, or abuse of an interface by another programmer. Read more on Assertion use here
In your second code block
if len(musical_groups) == 3:
print(", ".join(musical_groups))
muiscal_groups is a list containing lists of 7 different musical groups. Therefore, the len() of musical_groups is 7. You need to move your if statement inside your for loop to "print out the trios". See below:
for musical in musical_groups:
if len(musical) == 3:
print(", ".join(musical))
