Alright, let's finish making our menu. Combine the sundaes list into a new variable named display_menu, where each item in the list is rejoined together by a comma and a space (", "). Then reassign the menu variable to use the existing variable and .format() to replace the placeholder with the new string in display_menu. If you're really brave, you can even accomplish this all on the same line where menu is currently being set.
available = "banana split;hot fudge;cherry;malted;black and white"
sundaes=available.split(';')
menu="Our available flavors are: {}."
display_menu=sundaes.join(', ')
menu=menu.format(display_menu)

15,203 Pointsjoin function takes the list as an argument and add all the elements into a string, where each element is separated by the string upon which it is called.
e.g. list = ["a", "b", "c"] string = " and " string.join(list) = ' and b and c'
available = "banana split;hot fudge;cherry;malted;black and white"
sundaes=available.split(';')
menu="Our available flavors are: {}."
display_menu=", ".join(sundaes)
menu=menu.format(display_menu)
