#character, which is the semicolon
#the way you have copied I guess it is wrong, as I see commas, I suggest you
#to restart the question again
#your approach is correct,
available.split() # what you miss here, on what basis, are you going to split it,
#that's where the question, had passed the message to use, semicolon

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