I can't finish this challenge because of 3rd task

I can't solve this 3rd task, I think I used .format in proper way, but I still cannot solve this .join(", "). Every time I want to check my work it shows me that 1st task wasn't done but I done it in a proper way. Can anyone help me with that or send me a proper, solved code?

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

:point_right: The arguments for join are supplied in the opposite manner of split.

Plus, the challenge says to reassign menu with the result:

menu = menu.format(", ".join(sundaes))
