539 PointsHi I dosent understand what i should do here....
The task is "I think it's time for a snack. Luckily I have a string full of types of ice cream sundaes. Unluckily, they're all in one string and the string has semi-colons in it too. Use .split() to break the available string apart on the semi-colons (;). Assign this to a new variable sundaes."
Thank you for youre time and help :)
available = "banana split;hot fudge;cherry;malted;black and white".split(';')
sundaes+ ', '.join(available)

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

available = "banana split;hot fudge;cherry;malted;black and white"
sundaes= available.split(";")
sundaes in your code is undefined variable so it will give you back an error.
