  1. Move the line with the display_menu variable above the line with the menu variable (currently the menu variable is trying to access the display_menu variable before it exists)

  2. You'll need to use the format() method on the line where you declare the menu variable.

Hope this helps, if you're still stuck post the latest version of your code and we'll go from there!
