Do you have solution manual to these tasks. It would really help.

sundaes = available.split(';')

You are very close! The last line is wrong though. The Code Challenge is asking to use the "format" function on the "Our available flavors are: {}". Meantime, it is asking you to join that back, not to split again. Try this code snippet:

available = "banana split;hot fudge;cherry;malted;black and white"

sundaes = available.split(";")
menu = "Our available flavors are: {}.".format(", ".join(sundaes))

Sorry, there isn't an answer key. As an alternative, almost every challenge and video has forum posts regarding the issues encountered and the relevant solutions. If you search the forum by the challenge name you should see many results.

For example, this link lists all the questions regarding the Using .split() and .join() challenge.

you not answering my question however. Is there a solution manual to these tasks. Does treehouse provide a solution manual to the challenge tasks. It's really a pain to keep posting simple questions i can resolve on my own if there were an answer key to compare with.

Well, no. Treehouse does not have one, and if they did, anyone can just easily pass any Quiz/Code Challenge.
