5,028 Pointsstuck on python question where they ask me to use .join and .format
I don't know what i am doing wrong, but it keeps telling me to try again. Can someone please look at my code and tell me what i am doing wrong?
available = "banana split;hot fudge;cherry;malted;black and white"
sundaes = available.split(";")
menu = "Our available flavors are: {}"
ice_cream = menu.format(", ".join(available))

ice_cream = ', '.join(sundaes)
menu = menu.format(ice_cream)

5,028 PointsAlright, let's finish making our menu. Using whatever variable name you want (other than sundaes), combine the sundaes list into a new string, joining them with a comma and a space (", "). Use that string with a .format() on our existing menu variable and replace the current value of menu.
