How do I combine the sundaes list

I'm really stuck on this

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

You obviously got tasks 1 and 2, good so far.

Now you just need to rejoin the sundaes list into a string using .join with ", " (a comma and a space) as the new separator. Format the menu using this joined string and assign it back to menu.

Can you do it now? If your still stuck, here's how I did it:

:warning: SPOILER ALERT

menu = menu.format(", ".join(sundaes))
