Code challenge sundae menu building.

Hello im really struggling to get my head around python. Im not sure on how to set this up properly 

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

[MOD: added ```python formatting -cf]

You didn't link to a challenge, but just looking at your code I noticed this: You can't use "menu" in the join call because it hasn't been defined yet (it will be after that line).

:point_right: I think you meant to put "sundaes" there.

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

Does that solve your issue?
