Not sure what's wrong with this below? Am I missing a key element/code?

available = "banana split;hot fudge;cherry;malted;black and white" sundaes = available.split(";") display_menu = "banana split,hot fudge,cherry,malted,black and white" menu = "our available flavors are: {}.".format("display_menu") sundaes + "," .join("display_menu")

banana.py
available = "banana split;hot fudge;cherry;malted;black and white"
sundaes = available.split(";") 
display_menu = "banana split,hot fudge,cherry,malted,black and white"
menu = "our available flavors are: {}.".format("display_menu")
sundaes + "," .join("display_menu")

Thank you, Anibal Marquina. I'm also stuck on this task.

#You almost got it... just you are messing the blank space after the comma (', ') in your display_menu variable..
# remember to create in order your variables..so python will be able to look for them.
# your Sunday variable where you join sundaes most be before your final menu.

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

sundaes = available.split(';')

menu = "Our available flavors are: {}."

display_menu = (', ').join(sundaes)

menu = menu.format(display_menu)
