# Task 1 of 3
# I think it's time for a snack. Luckily I have a string full of types
# of ice cream sundaes. Unluckily, they're all in one string and the
# string has semi-colons in it too.
# Use '.split()' to break the available string apart on the semi-colons
# (;). Assign this to a new variable 'sundaes'.
available = "banana split;hot fudge;cherry;malted;black and white"
sundaes = available.split(';')
# Task 2 of 3
# Let's add a new string variable for displaying our menu items.
# Make a new variable named 'menu' that's set to
# "Our available flavors are: {}.".
menu = "Our available flavors are: {}."
# Task 3 of 3
# Alright, let's finish making our menu.
# Combine the 'sundaes' list into a new string, joining them with a
# comma and a space (", ").
# Put that string into a .format() on our 'menu' string.
menu = "Our available flavors are: {}.".format(", ".join(sundaes))
# OR
menu = menu.format(", ".join(sundaes))
