my code challenge is kinda stuck

i don't know why the code isn't running it just keeps throwing error

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

Seems like you are trying to use display_menu before you set it.

Let me know if that doesn't do the trick ;)

I really don't know what is wrong here is the full code

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)
