hi, am on task 3 of 3 in Splits and Joins, in Python Basics...getting an error about 'task 1 no longer passing', but I've not changed task 1, and so I'm stuck as I'm not getting a proper hint on how to move forward. (I have an image, but not sure how to attach it here)

menu = "Our available flavors are: {}.".format(", ".join(sundaes))

4,813 PointsThanks Chris, here's the code:
available = "banana split;hot fudge;cherry;malted;black and white"
sundaes = available.split(";")
menu = "Our available flavors are: {}".format(available.split("."))
menu = "Our available flavors are: " + sundaes.join(",")
I realize my last line is not correct, just wondering why the 'hint' does not address the error specifically - thanks for your help
[MOD: added ```python markdown formatting -cf]

4,813 Pointscleaner view:
available = "banana split;hot fudge;cherry;malted;black and white"
sundaes = available.split(";")
menu = "Our available flavors are: {}".format(available.split("."))
menu = "Our available flavors are: " + sundaes.join(",")

4,813 Pointsgotcha, thanks Chris - I misunderstood the directions :(
any clue why the 'task 1' error does not give more specifics? - no worries if not, just curious

Treehouse Moderator 68,166 PointsI believe each task has a specific task checker. The checker for Task 2 simply calls the Task 1 checker and looks at the return value. Sometimes, using the "Return to Task 1" button and resubmitting your code can give a more detailed error message. Sometimes not, unfortunately.

Can you post your code and we can help figure it out?
