why it is throwing assertion error

:-group_number=1 for group in musical_groups: string = " ".join(group) print("

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"],
]

for group in musical_groups:
    string = " ".join(group)
    print("Group #{}:{}".format(group_number,string))

Hi there, Vashisth Bhatt ! You're doing terrific and your logic is spot on! However, you've done a print here that is way fancier than what the challenge asked for. You're printing out the group members separated by a space and even included the group number as it goes through the list! Remember, when these challenges ask you to print something, or return a string, it must be exactly what the challenge is expecting or it will fail. Essentially, you need to make your string match the challenge specifications which state that it should simply print the group members separated by a comma and a space.

So if I remove some of your code and instead do this:

string = ", ".join(group)
print(string)

... your code passes with flying colors!

Hope this helps! :sparkles:
