I'm stuck here. It keeps saying task one is no longer working, but not sure what I'm doing wrong.

I'm stuck here. On task 3, but everytime I try something it's wrong and then it says task 1 no longer works. Kind of an annoying loop.

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

Hi Lawrence, you had an syntax error with you join-function. The join-syntax is a little bit confusing, because the array that you want to join comes in the parameter. So the solution looks like this (line 4):

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