the wording for the question is throwing me off.
available = "banana split;hot fudge;cherry;malted;black and white"
sundaes = available.split(';')
menu = "Our available flavors are: {}" '"+ " .join("sundaes")'
display_menu = ',' .join(sundae)
display

1,658 PointsI can't remember what task 3 was, but looking at your code I can see a few problems.
line 4: sundae is not defined, you variable is called sundaes not sundae, so use the correct variable name.
line 5: display is not defined, I'm assuming your trying to print display_menu, if that's the case, you should write: print(display_menu).

24,061 PointsHeya, I added some comments to the code below that will hopefully help you understand :)
available = "banana split;hot fudge;cherry;malted;black and white"
# here we split the string into a list at each ';' character
sundaes = available.split(';')
# then re-join the list into a string placing a comma and space(', ') between each list item
display_menu = ', '.join(sundaes)
# now use our new string to print a nicely formatted menu
menu = "Our available flavors are: {}.".format(display_menu)
Keep at it!
