I can not get passed the third objective in the exercise concerning .split() and .join().

I am having trouble getting past the third objective in the exercise. I can get through the first two, but once I try to get through the third, it says that the first objective is no longer valid. Here is my code: please help!! available = "banana split;hot fudge;cherry;malted;black and white" sundaes = available.split(";") menu = "Our available flavors are: {}." flavors = sundaes.join(", ") menu.format(flavors)

Try this instead:

available = "banana split;hot fudge;cherry;malted;black and white"

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

Hope it helps! ~Alex

Alexander, thank you for your help! Unfortunatley I am getting the same error, that the first objective is no longer valid. The first objective is to split the available by ; and name that variable sundaes. The code we wrote to do this was sundaes = available.split(";") This is the same problem that I was having. Once i get past the second objective, it says the first objective no longer is valid. PLEASE HELP!!
