Use .split() and .join()

Combining sundaes with (", ")

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

Hey there,

good job so far! :) In the last task you have to use the format method on the string in the menu variable and inside of the format method you should use the join method on the string ", " and give it the sundaes variable as an argument.

Like so:

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

I hope that helps! :)
