Hey Susannah!

For future reference, it's frowned upon around here to post an answer that is just copy/pastable code and nothing else without any explanation as to why it's the correct answer. That way, other students can understand the code and why it works. Accordingly, I've redacted the code in your answer. If you wish, feel free to post it again, but be sure to explain why the code works and why it's the correct answer. Thanks for helping out around the Community!

Perhaps there should be a sticky or any kind of explanation of what answers should look like then, if imaginary rules are going to be enforced.

Honestly, I'm in favor of this, but I don't have the power to do something like that. Moderators are just volunteers. We're regular students, but we have full editing privileges as if we were OP for everything on the Community. This is one of the rules that the handbook we're given asks us to enforce, but I haven't seen any publicly-posted community guidelines anywhere else, and I wish that would change
