I am not getting question .What do they want me to do.No sample output is given here.
available = "banana split;hot fudge;cherry;malted;black and white"
sundaes=available.split(';')
menu = "Our available flavors are: {}."
sundaes=",".join(sundaes)

available = "banana split;hot fudge;cherry;malted;black and white"
sundaes = available.split(';')
menu = "Our available flavors are: {}.".format( ", ".join(sundaes))

41,118 PointsThe error message you are getting is 'Task 1 is no longer passing'. Task 1 requires that the sundaes variable is a list, but you have reassigned it on your 4th line. You should rename this new variable on your 4th line to something else. Make sure you also use this new name when you reference it on line 5.
You also need to use ", " rather than simply "," as the join string on line 4.
Finally, on line 5, the final result should be held in the menu variable, not display menu.
