Hi.
I can't work out where I've gone wrong on this last line. Please advise.
Thanks
Sean
available = "banana split;hot fudge;cherry;malted;black and white"
sundaes = available.split(";")
menu = "Our available flavors are: {}."
desserts.format(", ".join(sundaes))

Since you haven't defined that variable yet, it will cause an error. Try changing "desserts" to "menu". :)
Good luck! ~Alex

33,235 PointsHi Alex.
Thanks for trying to help.
I tried this:
menu.format(", ".join(sundaes))I got the reply:
Bummer! Didn't find the right series of sundaes and commas in `menu`.I'd appreciate any further help on offer.

65,469 PointsHmm... That's weird. I tested out your code with desserts as menu in the Python Shell, and it worked just fine. Maybe try combining the last two lines into one (this does the same thing but sometimes code challenges expect you to do it that way)?You code should look like this when you "combine" lines:
Good luck!
