.split()

I can seem to figure out what I am doing wrong with this challenge. I have tried everything

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

no need to rewrite all those items. all those items are stored in the available variable. looks something like this:

available.split(';')

and then assign that to the sundaes variable. should look like this:

sundaes = available.split(';')
