I'm not sure what to join and what to format and how to type it out.
available = "banana split;hot fudge;cherry;malted;black and white"
sundaes = available.split(';')
menu = "Our available flavors are: {} "
display_menu = sundaes + ', '.join(", ").format("menu {}")

Python Web Development Techdegree Student 932 PointsHere is your solution
available = "banana split;hot fudge;cherry;malted;black and white"
sundaes = available.split(";")
menu = "Our available flavors are: {}."
display_menu = ", ".join(sundaes)
menu = "Our available flavors are: {}.".format(display_menu)
Just paste it to figure out this step. Don't forgot to understand the code

Python Web Development Techdegree Student 932 PointsKenneth explained enough thought, isn't it? actually some time it's difficult to find out or build a logic for beginner. But no one wouldn't like to stack with a step. You should move even slowly and day by day brain will absorb automatically upon practice. Ignore it if I'm not right. Thanks

229,732 PointsWorking out the answer for yourself using some hints actually helps most people learn better than just getting the final answer. "Understand the code" is not an effective learning technique for many people.

229,732 PointsYou've got most of the parts there but the order needs a bit of work.
The join method is applied to a string (you got that right), but it should take the list as the argument. Then, that whole thing should be the argument to format, which would be applied to the template (which is in menu). The result goes back into menu.
You can do all that on a single line, or split it up and use display_menu as the halfway-done value.
I'll bet you can get it now without a spoiler.
