Hi there, I'm trying to work on this final python challenge and join sundaes but having a hard time:
available = "banana split;hot fudge;cherry;malted;black and white" sundaes = available.split(';') menu = "Our available flavors are: {}." desert = (", ").join(sundaes) menu.format(desert)
I get "Did you use '.join(", ") ?" But I can't do: desert = sundaes.join(", ") as Task 1 fails
Any one have any ideas ? I'm most likely missing something simple out.
available = "banana split;hot fudge;cherry;malted;black and white"
sundaes = available.split(';')
menu = "Our available flavors are: {}."
desert = (", ").join(sundaes)
menu.format(desert)

desert = ", ".join(sundaes) will work; remove the parentheses

4,885 PointsHi James, I tried that but I'm now getting an error about :
Didn't find the right series of sundaes and commas in menu.

last step is to replace menu with the complete string, you just need to put your last line as an re-assignment to menu, only missing 'menu =' and your done
menu = menu.format(desert)

4,885 PointsThanks @James, I re-read the question and it makes sense as it was asking to replace it in the last question. Need to read the questions better next time :).
