Challenge 3 - joins and splits --- I'm still getting an error even though I typed in the suggested answer verbatim

Hi,

I followed Chris' suggestions, but I'm still getting an error even though I typed in the suggested answer verbatim.

Here's the original challenge:

Alright, let's finish making our menu. Combine the sundaes list into a new variable named display_menu, where each item in the list is rejoined together by a comma and a space (", "). Then use .format() on our existing menu variable to replace the placeholder with the new string in display_menu. If you're really brave, you can even accomplish this all on the same line where menu is currently being set.

This is what I typed:

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

I got the following error:

Bummer! Did you use .join(", ")?

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Jan

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