error with available split

banana.py 
available = "banana split;hot fudge;cherry;malted;black and white"
avaliable = "banana split;hot fudge;cherry;malted;black and white".split(';')
['banana split', 'hot fudge' , 'cherrymalted' , 'black and white']
sundaes = (['banana split', 'hot fudge' , 'cherrymalted' , 'black and white'])

The split method needs to be used on the available variable and then stored in sundaes which can all be done in one line

sundaes = available.split(";")
