199 PointsReceiving error message "Oops! It looks like Task 1 is no longer passing.", except my task one is fine.
Title says it all. Kind of frustrated with the lack of guidance when writing out code. Reminders for syntax and/or some hints would be nice considering this is meant for complete beginners. Less concerned with finding the solution to my current task and more just wanted to vent a little beginner's frustration.
available = "banana split;hot fudge;cherry;malted;black and white"
sundaes = available.split(';')
menu = "Our available flavors are: {}."
display_menu = sundaes.join(", ")

229,732 PointsThe challenge can get confused when you introduce a syntax error.
In this case you have applied the join method to a list and passed it a string argument.
But join is actually a string method, and takes a sequence (list) argument. So swap those around.
Also you haven't quite finished the last task, you still need to format the menu string using your display_menu and put the result back into menu.
