I didn't change the code for task 1 and 2, but when I try to do task 3 it says task 1 is no longer passing. I don't see how that's possible - it's the same code! Does anyone know why that would be? Am I missing something?
available = "banana split;hot fudge;cherry;malted;black and white"
sundaes = available.split(';')
menu = "Our available flavors are: {}."
display_menu = sundaes.join(", ")
menu = "Our available flavors are: {}.".format(display_menu)

available = "banana split;hot fudge;cherry;malted;black and white"
sundaes = available.split(';')
menu = "Our available flavors are: {}."
#sundaes is a list and 'list' object has no attribute 'join'. Join is available for string.
#hence instead of
#display_menu = sundaes.join(", ")
display_menu = ", ".join(sundaes)
#Also the author wants you to use the variable name(this has nothing to do with error and is perfectly correct toherwise.
#but you should use
menu = menu.format(display_menu)
#instead of
#menu = "Our available flavors are: {}.".format(display_menu)
