994 PointsSplitting and Joining test - wrong series of commas?
So here is the code, guys: available = "banana split;hot fudge;cherry;malted;black and white" sundaes = available.split(";") menu = "Our available flavors are: {}." menu.format(", ".join(sundaes))
I keep receiving a reply that "Didn't find the right series of sundaes and commas in menu". The result, however, seems absolutely fine in terms of synthax, etc. Tried to adjust the code slightly but still nothing works.
available = "banana split;hot fudge;cherry;malted;black and white"
sundaes = available.split(";")
menu = "Our available flavors are: {}."
menu.format(", ".join(sundaes))

It will look like this.
available = "banana split;hot fudge;cherry;malted;black and white"
sundaes = available.split(";")
menu = "Our available flavors are: {}."
menu += menu.format(", ".join(sundaes))
