I don't have a clue what to do here
available = "banana split;hot fudge;cherry;malted;black and white"
sundaes = available.split(';')
menu = "Our available flavors are: {}"
display_menu = menu.format(sundaes)

Python Web Development Techdegree Graduate 58,248 PointsYou need to join the sundaes into a new string, before putting into the menu string you have created. This can be done in one line, but split into two below, to make it easier to understand.
display_menu = ", ".join(sundaes)
menu = menu.format(display_menu)

Python Web Development Techdegree Student 3,347 PointsThe challenge says (second line): Combine the
sundaeslist into a new variable nameddisplay_menu, where each item in the list is rejoined together by a comma and a space (", ").Remember that using the
split()method on a string returns a list, so your last line isn't adding each item from the list, it's adding the entire list:"Our available flavors are: ['banana split', 'hot fudge', 'cherry', 'malted', 'black and white']."
