Hey sorry for the bad question. I figured it out now. It wasn't passing the code test and thought it looked right. I just wasn't following instructions properly which is why it wasn't passing. I need to make sure I am fully understanding the problem when trying to create a solution. Thanks for the fast response Adam. I do appreciate it.
