combining strings and .format() and .join() I've done everything but this last step and i'm not sure how to code it.

Working on the menu activity for Python.

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

This is how your code should look.

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

Thank You! That makes much more sense now. I was thinking it wanted me to insert the format into the menu variable already existing.
