My 3rd out of 3 challenges says that task one is no longer passing. What do I have to do?

D:

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

1 Answer

Hello

the problem is here:

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

if you print sundaes, you get this

print(sundaes)

['banana split', 'hot fudge', 'cherry', 'malted', 'black and white']

so ... this part:

', '.join(sundaes) makes no sense as as you are joining a list to ???? ... again, sundaes is a list on it own

please re-review what you want to do and adjust accordingly.

if this answers your question, please mark the questions as answered.
