Why is my answer to task 3 challenge incorrect? line 3 ', '.join(sundaes)

are you just looking for the answer in a different way ?

banana.py
available = "banana split;hot fudge;cherry;malted;black and white"
sundaes = available.split(";")
', '.join(sundaes)
menu = "Our available flavors are: {}.".format(sundaes)

Your are close- the line that you have before your 'menu' declaration, take that and insert it in the parenthesis replacing sundaes. I think that will fix it.

It should look like this:

available = "banana split;hot fudge;cherry;malted;black and white"
sundaes = available.split(";")

menu = "Our available flavors are: {}.".format(', '.join(sundaes))

Thanks. I was having a problem with wanting to use available with the join. I guess I need to accept that we don't need to mention available again.
