Hi team, I need help , I have problem with challenge task of spliting and joining.

sundaes='banana split;hot fudge;cherry;malted;black and white'

'banana split;hot fudge;cherry;malted;black and white'.split(";")

['banana split', 'hot fudge', 'cherry', 'malted', 'black and white']

or

sundaes.split(";")

['banana split', 'hot fudge', 'cherry', 'malted', 'black and white']

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

Instead of writing the values a second time when you declare "sundaes", set the value of sundaes to be the result of calling split on available.
