Be sure to use `.split()` to break apart `available`. Im not sure what that means since I have already used

You are using the .split() method on the data that is being stored in the available variable. This causes available to reference a list that looks like ["banana split", "cherry", "malted", "malted", "black and white"]. In order for you to pass this challenge, you need declare a variable called sundaes and call the split() method on the variable available. It would like this:

available = "banana split;hot fudge;cherry;malted;black and white"
sundaes = available.split(';')

You have the right puzzle pieces. You just need to put them together properly.

Remember that even if your code results exactly what the challenge asked for, the code must be the kind of code the challenge is expecting. The challenge is expecting you to call split() then immediately assign whatever you get from that to sundaes. I know, code challenges (especially the Python topic) are very picky!

Try this:

available = "banana split;hot fudge;cherry;malted;black and white"
sundaes = available.split(';')

I hope this helps

Happy coding!

Those don't appear to be separated by a comma "," but a semi-colon ";".

Yeah, I tried that as well. I just changed it back, its still giving me the same error. Thank you Cole :)

Wow, Thanks you guys, I didn't know you could do that. None of the examples we did touch on that, I was just trying to use ("; ") to split the variables. Thank you all so much
