banana.py task 3 of 2

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

the above code is working in the shell but not in the workspace provided to give the answer. Can someone please help?

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

You are doing it he other way around. The varaibles are inversely named .Try this .Hope this was helpful

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