You first need to split the given string into a list by using the split function and giving the split function the separator you want to consider: in this case ";". The code should look like this:
available = "banana split;hot fudge;cherry;malted;black and white"
sundaes = available.split(";")
For the second task you need to format the list items into a string by using the ({}).format(input) syntax. The code should look like this:
available = "banana split;hot fudge;cherry;malted;black and white"
sundaes = available.split(";")
menu = "Our available flavors are: {}".format(sundaes)
And finally for the final task you should use the join method. Just make sure to follow the right syntax which is: joined_string = separator.join(sequence). Exchanging the separator with the sequence is a very common mistake so make sure to remember the right order. The final code should look something like this:
available = "banana split;hot fudge;cherry;malted;black and white"
sundaes = available.split(";")
menu = "Our available flavors are: {}".format(", ".join( sundaes ))
Hope this helped.
