803 PointsNeed help solving task 3 of this code challange
This is the second time I am attempting to get help for this code challenge. Any idea what I am doing in correctly? Also, would love to find the answer for finishing this code on the same line as "menu".
available = "banana split;hot fudge;cherry;malted;black and white"
sundaes = available.split(';')
menu = "our available flavors are: {}."
display_menu = sundaes.join(';')
menu = "our available flavors are: {}.".format(display_menu)

168 PointsWhen using the join function in python you call the function on the separator string (", ") and pass the array as a parameter.
Like this:
", ".join(sundaes);
Your code for formatting menu is correct but you declared menu twice; the first one won't be necessary.
The final solution:
available = "banana split;hot fudge;cherry;malted;black and white"
sundaes = available.split(';');
display_menu = ", ".join(sundaes);
menu = "Our available flavors are: {}.".format(display_menu);
