Hey Kelsey, see below:

Task one

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

Task two

available = "banana split;hot fudge;cherry;malted;black and white"
sundaes = available.split(";")
menu = "Our available flavors are: {}."

Task three

available = "banana split;hot fudge;cherry;malted;black and white"
sundaes = available.split(";")
menu = "Our available flavors are: {}.".format(", ".join(sundaes))
