Im not sure what I'm doing wrong here. Please advise. Thank you!

I'm having trouble having the programme running through each row of the multidimensional list in order to print out the groups with 3 members.

Can you let me know where I'm going wrong here?

Thanks!

groups.py 
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
group = 0
for group in musical_groups:
    if group == 3:
        print(", ".join(group))

It's not the group itself you want to test, but the size of the group.

You can get the size of an iterable by using the "len()" function on it.

Also, you don't need to preset the value of "group" before the loop.
