I cant seem to figure out how to join menu with display menu, I have taken sundaes and split it with (", ") at least I think I did that correctly, but I can seem to join them though I reassigned menu and tried to use .format() to input display_menu's list
available = "banana split;hot fudge;cherry;malted;black and white"
sundaes = available.split(";")
menu = "Our available flavors are: {}.".format(display_menu)
display_menu = sundaes.join(", ")

display_menu = ", ".join(sundaes)
Read it as use this string ", " to join the elements of the list argument sundaes and return the new string.

Treehouse Moderator 68,454 PointsIt is the same in that format() is also a string method that returns a new string.
