.format()

I am a little bit confused here , i keep having task not passing and syntax errors, not sure what i am doing wrong. Any idea will be helpful

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

Looks like youre trying to do it with a one liner on line 3. Delete line 4. All that's wrong with line 3 is that youre not joining the list together with the right string.

Your line 3 comes out like this:

Our available flavors are: banana split;hot fudge;cherry;malted;black and white

When it should look like this:

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