3,103 PointsTrying to format commas in my list. Am I doing it right?
Here's my code
available = "banana split;hot fudge;cherry;malted;black and white"
available.split(';')
sundaes = available.split(';')
menu = "Our available flavors are: {} ."
display_menu = .format(", ".join(flavors))
I'm trying to replace (';') with (', ') but it's not working so far. I'm new to Python in general so I'm pretty lost.
available = "banana split;hot fudge;cherry;malted;black and white"
available.split(';')
sundaes = available.split(';')
menu = "Our available flavors are: {} ."
display_menu = .format(", ".join(flavors))

It looks like you're really close, but try this:
available = "banana split;hot fudge;cherry;malted;black and white"
sundaes = available.split(';')
display_menu = ", ".join(sundaes)
menu = "Our available flavors are: {}".format(display_menu)
Hope this helps!

3,103 PointsThis helped! I didn't know you had to have the ", " (commas) without parenthesis. That was messing me up and formatting the variables together.
This was tricky, thanks so much for the help!
