Working ? or not

my banana.py

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

On my Python 3.65 I run this just fine print(display_name)

print(display_menu) Our available flavors are: banana split, hot fudge, cherry, malted, black and white .

I have been working on this problem for over an hour??? Error message says I never reassigned menu to display_menu ????

You are sooo close! You just need one more thing: "Then reassign the menu variable ...".

So just put the final string back into "menu" and you'll have it!

You could even just change "display_menu" to "menu". Ken even suggested: "If you're really brave, you can even accomplish this all on the same line where menu is currently being set."
