I don't understand what I'm supposed to do for task 3 on the code challenge

I understand what I'm supposed to do

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

You need to ".join()" the menu variable. You could do that like this:

available = "banana split;hot fudge;cherry;malted;black and white"

sundaes = available.split(";")

menu = "Our available flavors are: {}.".format(", ".join(sundaes))

I hope that helps a little bit.
