Mad Marcus
Courses Plus Student 87 Pointscreate a new variable named and use the split function
sundaes = available.split(";")
now recheck your work.

Courses Plus Student 87 PointsMad Marcus
Courses Plus Student 87 Pointsthe values are already stored in the available variable so no need assign it to sundaes variable
here you can try like:
sundaes = available.split(";")
