You are pretty close.

  • the menu definition only needs a single curly bracket pair, not 5 pair
  • you use the join correctly, now assign it to the variable display_menu. Currently, it is not assigned to anything
  • now the tricky part:
    • Use format directly on the menu variable.
    • Use display_menu as the format argument.
    • Reassign the result back to menu

Post back if you have more questions. Good luck!!
