487 PointsI can't get past this challenge 3/3. The wording could be interpreted a number of ways
In this challenge it's hard to know to correct coding to move on. I've tried half a dozen different ways of structuring this, and have had no luck. Being sent back to task one and coming back to the same point of confusion is not helping.
Any clarification would be appreciated
available = "banana split;hot fudge;cherry;malted;black and white"
sundaes = available.split(";")
menu = "Our available flavors are: {}."
sundaes = str(sundaes).join(", ")
menu.format(sundaes)

Treehouse Moderator 68,454 PointsThis challenge is picky. It does not want you to reassign sundaes so it can check Task 1 is still working. It also wants you to use the format method directly on the menu string:
available = "banana split;hot fudge;cherry;malted;black and white"
sundaes = available.split(";")
menu = "Our available flavors are: {}.".format(", ".join(sundaes))
#sundaes = str(sundaes).join(", ")
#menu.format(", ".join(sundaes))
