Forgot how to split

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

You were super close! You just needed to assign 'available' to 'sundaes' instead of rewriting the whole thing.

This is the answer. Hope it refreshes your mind on how to do it! :)

available = "banana split;hot fudge;cherry;malted;black and white"

sundaes = available.split(';')
