available = "banana split;hot fudge;cherry;malted;black and white" #store string in variable
sundaes = available.split(';') #create an array split between the semicolon 
menu = "Our available flavors are: {}" # create a string with a placeholder to format
display_menu = ", ".join(sundaes) #create a new variable that  contains the result of joining the list and using a soma and space as a delimiter
menu = menu.format(display_menu) # creates a string with the string contained in display_menu put in the placeholder created int he menu variable
