Wondering if I am missing formal

Wonder if formal needs to be added to render it

banana.py 
available = "banana split;hot fudge;cherry;malted;black and white"
avaliable = "banana split;hot fudge;cherry;malted;black and white".split(';')
['banana split', 'hot fudge' , 'cherrymalted' , 'black and white']
sundaes = available.split(";")
menu = "our avaliable flavors are:{}".

You mustn't do anything with the available variable. You are supposed to create a new variable called sundaes and put the items in available seperated by ";" as a list.

Then you are asked to make a menu variable which is supposed to be a string joining all the items in sundaes.

After that you simply use, as you pointed out yourself format() on menu to insert the sundaes variable into the placeholder within the string.

Not sure I understand. Is it format on index line?
