ASp.NET MVC basic

Using the Razor syntax, write the characters string array variable value to the view within the provided <ul> element.

WHERE DID I GET WRONG????

Detail.cshtml 
@{
    Layout = null;

    var title = "Super Mario 64";
    var description = "Super Mario 64 is a 1996 platform video game developed and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo 64.";
    var characters = new string[]
    {
        "Mario",
        "Princess Peach",
        "Bowser",
        "Toad",
        "Yoshi"
    };
}

<!DOCTYPE html>

<html>
<head>
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width" />
    <title>Video Game Detail</title>
</head>
<body>
    <div>
        <h1>@title</h1>

        <h5>Description:</h5>
        <div>@description</div>  

        @if(characters.Length > 0)
        {
        <h5> Characters: </h5>
        <div>
            <ul>
              @foreach (var character in characters)
              {
              <li> @character </li>
              }

            </ul>
        </div>

I haven't done the tutorials yet, but it seems to accept:

@{
    Layout = null;

    var title = "Super Mario 64";
    var description = "Super Mario 64 is a 1996 platform video game developed and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo 64.";
    var characters = new string[]
    {
        "Mario",
        "Princess Peach",
        "Bowser",
        "Toad",
        "Yoshi"
    };
}

<!DOCTYPE html>

<html>
<head>
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width" />
    <title>Video Game Detail</title>
</head>
<body>
    <div>
        <h1>@title</h1>

        <h5>Description:</h5>
        <div>@description</div>

        <h5>Characters:</h5>
        <div>
            <ul>
              @foreach (var character in characters)
              {
              <li>@character</li>
              }
            </ul>
        </div>
    </div>
</body>
</html>

It's pretty particular. For example, it failed when i added a single extra space to the HTML.
