13,475 PointsReassign the Menu Variable?
I'm currently stuck on this step. I'm not sure how to reassign menu variable. Please help! Thanks so much.
available = "banana split;hot fudge;cherry;malted;black and white"
sundaes = available.split(";")
menu = "Our available flavors are: {}."
display_menu = ", ".join(sundaes)

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)
Or, if you want to do it in one line, you can do this, forgoing the need for a display_menu variable at all:
available = "banana split;hot fudge;cherry;malted;black and white"
sundaes = available.split(";")
menu = "Our available flavors are: {}.".format(", ".join(sundaes))

13,475 PointsKieran, thank you so much for your thorough answers! I'm an art major trying to myself how to code, so this very foreign to me, haha. I really appreciate your help!
