688 Points.split() Command
I don't understand why this does not work. Thank you in advance. I wish treehouse had a self help option, where you can click help and not have to watch the video 100 times and still not understand.
available = "banana split;hot fudge;cherry;malted;black and white"
"banana split;hot fudge;cherry;malted;black and white".split(";")

25,493 PointsThere is nothing wrong with your code but you didn’t follow the instructions correctly. You are being asked to save that array to a variable named sundaes and also you should be splitting the variable, not the string. This code works:
available = "banana split;hot fudge;cherry;malted;black and white"
sundaes = available.split(";")

Sir I feel so lost even after watching the videos 100 times. What other website do you recommend me to go to "so they can dumb it down". Thank You for your help I didn't see an example like this in the video so I felt lost.
