What seems to be the error here?

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

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

Join needs the separator at the start

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