banana.py 
available = "banana split;hot fudge;cherry;malted;black and white"
sundaes = available.split(";")

menu = ("Our available flavors are: {}.").format(display_menu)

Hi, there!

The probelm is this part from your code

display_menu = sundaes.join(", ")

The .join function is a function from string. So you got it backwards.

", ".join(sundaes)

this is the code you want to write
