Courses Plus Student 1,297 PointsWhere am I making a mistake?
Can't seem to understand why I am doing this wrong.
available = "banana split;hot fudge;cherry;malted;black and white"
sundaes = available.split(';')
menu = "Our available flavors are: {}.".format(sundaes)
display_menu = sundaes.join(", ")
menu.format(display_menu)

", ".join(sundaes)
Also, you want to assign the formatted string to menu, so you need
menu =
in front of the last line. The format after the string in the third line should be deleted.
