Hi,
can anyone spot a mistake with why this doesn't work?
I've used it in another console and it's been fine.
Thank you :)
available = "banana split;hot fudge;cherry;malted;black and white"
sundaes = available.split(';')
menu = "Our available flavors are: {}."
display_menu= menu.format(", ".join(sundaes))
