Courses Plus Student 213 PointsNot sure where my code is incorrect based on what is being asked.
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.
available = "banana split;hot fudge;cherry;malted;black and white" available.split(';') sundaes = ['banana split;hot fudge;cherry;malted;black and white']
available = "banana split;hot fudge;cherry;malted;black and white"
available.split(';')
sundaes = ['banana split;hot fudge;cherry;malted;black and white']

available.split(';') gives the results of the split string, but then those results "disappear" and you are not able to access them, because you haven't named those results. In this case, the exercise asks you to name them "sundaes". In other words, you need..........
sundaes = available.split(';')Then if you typed were in the shell and typed "sundaes" you would see the results. That's why it's important to provide a name to things so you can access them (and do fun operations with them) later.
