Not sure what im missing here.
I split 'available' using 'available.split(;)'
I then assigned the variable 'sundaes' with = "available.split(;)"
Any ideas on what im doing wrong?
Thanks

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

Treehouse TeacherHi there! You were really close on this one and you were definitely on track on the 3rd line. The second line you can safely remove. On the third line, you have this:
sundaes = "available.split(;)"
Remember that whatever is put inside quotation marks is a string literal. If you were to now print(sundaes) to the screen it would display "avalaible.split(;)". You have misplaced your quotation marks. The quotation marks should be around the semicolon. The semicolon is the string we want to split on. You're looking for available.split(";").
Hope this helps!

A week into learning python my head is spinning, but its slowly making sense as it all comes together :-)
I got it in the end..
available = "banana split;hot fudge;cherry;malted;black and white" sundaes = available.split(";")
