Joining and Spliting - Please help

Hey there!

I've started not a while ago learning Python and I have encountered with a small difficulty during my studying. I'm at the end of the task, and I am asked to: "Combine the sundaes (as a str) list into a new string, joining them with a comma and a space (", "). Use that string with a .format() on our existing menu variable and replace the current value of menu (as a str)."

I've tried several ways to answer the question - but no luck. I'd like to hear an explantion about the question - I'n not quit sure what they are want from me.

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

Your answer appears to be correct. :+1:

So I tested it by cutting and pasting it directly into the challenge — and it passed!

If it didn't pass for you, perhaps there was some glitch. Retry, and paste it in from the above.

Hi! thank you for your answer!

Sorry I wasn't clear enough - the code i wrote which is attached to the question are from the previous tasks - the task I need help with the task 3 out of 3, which I don't understand what they mean.

thanks again!
