Hey Josh,

The third step of this challenge is a little confusing when you're trying to understand what everything the video before the challenge goes over.

The video does basically give you the answer, but it is a lot to absorb in one lesson since the syntax is a little unwieldy.

The working code is:

available = "banana split;hot fudge;cherry;malted;black and white"

sundaes = available.split(';')

menu = "Our available flavors are: {}."

flavors = ", ".join(sundaes)

menu = menu.format((flavors))

Good luck with the course!
