3,103 PointsJoin() and format() Issue. It is telling i am not getting the right selection from sundaes variable.
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. If you're really brave, you can even accomplish this all on the same line where menu is currently being set.
available = "banana split;hot fudge;cherry;malted;black and white"
sundaes = available.split(";")
display_menu = sundaes.join(', ')
menu = "Our available flavors are: {}.".format(', '.join(sundaes))

You cannot join list items. As stated by others line three sundaes is a list item that cannot be joined. I would use a for loop within a function or within the format function list out all of the items in the list and add them into the menu text.

3,103 Points@akhter ali Please check this answer. Still throwing error
available = "banana split;hot fudge;cherry;malted;black and white"
sundaes = available.split(";")
display_menu = sundaes.join(", ")
menu = "Our available flavors are: {}.".format(display_menu)

15,146 PointsIn line three you are not using the join method correctly. You have to use the method on a string and give it the iterable in parenthesis, like you did in line four.
