Python Python Basics (2015) Python Data Types Use .split() and .join()

.format and (", ")

Alright, let's finish making our menu. Combine the sundaes list into a new variable named display_menu, where each item in the list is rejoined together by a comma and a space (", ").

Then reassign the menu variable to use the existing variable and .format() to replace the placeholder with the new string in display_menu.

This is the question I have to solve and I got :

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

Why is this wrong?

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