Task 3

Question

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

Let's go step by step:
1. Combine the sundaes list into a new string, joining them with a comma and a space (", ").
To combine sundaes into a new new string, use the join method on the separator string "," with  the sundaes list as the argument:
python
", ".join(sundaes)

2. Use that string with a .format() on our existing menu variable and replace the current value of menu.
Using the .format() method on the menu string, with the joined string from above as the argument:
python
menu = "Our available flavors are: {}.".format(", ".join(sundaes))
