C# ASP.NET MVC Basics Views Displaying a List of Values

Challenge Task 1 of 1: Displaying a List of Values. Challenge not passed despite correct output.

I am unable to pass this challenge and can't seem to figure it out. I ran the code in Visual Studio on my own machine and the output looks good. So, maybe I'm missing something? Any help would be appreciated!

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>

        <h5>Characters:</h5>
        <div>
          <ul>

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

:point_right: You have a stray semicolon after the list item.

It may not have been visible in your local testing, but it doesn't belong there.

Thanks, Steven. So you don't put semicolons after statements in a loop?
