Error

I dont understand my mistake. It says that the task one is no longer passing

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

Your code is just about right, but the problem lies in the use of the join method. The join method should be used on a string and have a sequence passed in through the parenthesis. You have done it the other way around. Change it to ', '.join(sundaes) and your code will work.
