Idk what you are asking at all, so I'm just going to assume you are trying to get a comma separated list into the menu variable. On the third line, you want to use the "sundaes" variable instead of "available". The join method is meant to take in an array. Also, instead of a semicolon, you put a comma with an extra space on that string. Your code would end up looking something like this:

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