779 PointsTask 1 is no longer passing
without changing task 1 or 2 - when I go to check my work on task three it says Task 1 is no longer passing. i repeat the process giving differrent answers and reloading the page but the same thing continues to happen
available = "banana split;hot fudge;cherry;malted;black and white"
sundaes = available.split(';')
menu = "Our available flavors are: {}."
display_menu = sundaes.join(', ')
menu.format(display_menu)

231,236 PointsYou're really close, but I see two issues. First, "join" is the opposite of "split" in that it is a string method that takes a sequence as an argument. So you need two swap those terms around. It may look a bit strange until you get used to it.
Then, when you apply format to "menu", you still need to assign the result back to "menu".
Fix those and you should have it!

30,501 Pointsxuanye You only need to fix the last two sentence of your code..
For example:
available = "banana split;hot fudge;cherry;malted;black and white"
sundaes = available.split(';')
menu = "Our available flavors are: {}."
display_menu = ", ".join(sundaes)
menu = 'Our available flavors are: {}.'.format(display_menu)
It should works perfectly fine on your end!

779 Pointsthanks for your help!
I see where I went wrong re:"join" - display_menu = ", ".join(sundaes)
but I'm not sure what it means to "reassign" the results of the "format" back to menu.

231,236 PointsYour last line produces the correct result string, but doesn't put it anywhere. To reassign the results back to menu that last line should begin with "
menu =
".eynuax
