Courses Plus Student 836 PointsWhy is not this code working
I have watched your video numerous times but can't figure out why this code is not working.
available = "banana split;hot fudge;cherry;malted;black and white"
sundaes = available.split(';')
menu="Our available flavors are: {}."
display_menu = menu.format("banana split;hot fudge;cherry;malted;black and white".join(", "))

3,291 PointsYou never used the sundaes list. On line 4, instead of doing display_menu = menu.format("banana split;hot fudge;cherry;malted;black and white".join(", ")), do display_menu = menu.format(", ".join(sundaes)). Hope this helped!

3,291 PointsI just tried it in my console. So it should work.
available = "banana split;hot fudge;cherry;malted;black and white"
sundaes = available.split(';')
menu = "Our available flavors are: {}."
menu = menu.format(", ".join(sundaes))
The output I get is: 'Our available flavors are: banana split, hot fudge, cherry, malted, black and white.'
The problem is you used a display_menu variable when the task was looking for menu.
