Hi Sonam,

The first thing is that it looks like you are attempting to join sundaes and add it to the variable "display_menu". You have an open quote with no closing quote and a plus sign that isn't adding anything together. You don't need to add sundaes to anything, just join them with a space and a comma and assign it to the variable "display_menu."

display_menu = ', '.join(sundaes)

Then, in your last line, it looks like you are attempting another join of display_menu but you have already accomplished that so you only have to insert "display_menu" in the format() string, i.e., .format(display_menu)

Hope this helps,
