Can't complete task 3. Don't know what's wrong with my code...
available = "banana split;hot fudge;cherry;malted;black and white"
sundaes = available.split(";")
menu = "Our available flavors are: {}."
display_menu = sundaes.join(", ")
menu = menu.format(display_menu)

12,092 PointsThe implementation of the join statement is wrong:
available = "banana split;hot fudge;cherry;malted;black and white"
sundaes = available.split(";")
menu = "Our available flavors are: {}."
display_menu = sundaes.join(", ") # The problem is in this line
menu = menu.format(display_menu)
The join function works like this:
"how items are divided".join(argument)
For the sake of the challenge, it should be implemented:
available = "banana split;hot fudge;cherry;malted;black and white"
sundaes = available.split(";")
menu = "Our available flavors are: {}."
display_menu = ", ".join(sundaes)
menu = menu.format(display_menu)
Hope that helps!
