.format() 2 times in the same line?

So I tried to do task 3 and I think I got the first part of the question, but I don't get the 2nd part. How can there be 2 .format() in the same line? Thanks, Thale van der Sluijs

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

You're close.

There are two issues: The join method isn't quite right, and you're trying to use 'display_menu' before it has been defined.

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