Difficulty with a python programming task 

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

You have the correct logic, but on line 4, you should have 'display_menu = sundaes.join(", ")', and on the last line you just have to format display_menu, not repeating yourself.

Hope this helps!
