Problem at a beginner level of Python track.

Apparently the two last lines do not agree with the instructions beneath the code so I cannot move on within my track. Mind you, I've been learning to code for 4 days now : ).

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

INSTRUCTION for the task:

"Alright, let's finish making our menu. Combine the SUNDAES list into a new string, joining them with a comma and a space (", "). Use that string with a .FORMAT() on our existing MENU variable and replace the current value of MENU.

Thanks a million for help.

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

At the end of code

menu = menu.format(", ".join(sundaes))

will work.

Hope you helps-
