I'm not sure of how to complete this.

how do I complete this line of code? struggling with .format and .join concepts.

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

Looks like you took the "brave" method, but I see two issues:

  • there should be a period between the template string and "format"
  • you're skipping the creation of "display_menu", the argument to "join" should be "sundaes"
