Task 3

Hi, I've been trying to figure out task 3 for a long time now and I can't seem to figure it out. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance!

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

You are very close! You forgot the ".format(sundaes)" part after the "Our available flavors are: {}." part.

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

Also, you have to join it back with ", " to finish it off. Complete code:

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