Task 3

Hi, I've been trying to figure out task 3 for a long time now and I can't seem to figure it out. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance!

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

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

# Challenge Task 3 of 3
# Combine the sundaes list into a new string, 
# joining them with a comma and a space (", ").
sundae_string = ", ".join(sundaes)
# Use that string with a .format() on our existing menu variable 
# and replace the current value of menu.
menu = menu.format(sundae_string)
