The code you have posted works for me; usually a "communication error" in the context of the Treehouse platform indicates a network error, a server error or a connectivity problem. It usually has nothing to do with the code you've written. I've had communication errors happen to me occasionally while trying to submit answers and it's a pain, but, I'd log out and log back in and try the challenge again.
