Can't figure out why answer is wrong.

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

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

It works in the work space, however in the tutorial it states I don't have enough commas. Thanks, Dave

Very close.

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

They just wanted you to use the results of your menu.format() to replace the old menu
