Hello,
I have only just started to learn Python and I am getting the error 'Oops! It looks like task 1 is no longer passing.' with this task. As far as i can tell i have done it correctly but obviously not, help would be greatly appreciated!
full_name = "Luke Telford"
name_list = full_name.split()
greeting_list = "Hi, I'm Treehouse".split()
greeting_list[2] = name_list[0]
greeting = greetin_list.join()

greeting = ' '.join(greeting_list)
When you join a list back together, you use the
' ' and what every you put in between the ' marks is what it gets joined together with.
For instances:
greeting = "Hello, there! How are you?"
greeting = '555666'.join(greeting_list)
The output would be:
Hope that makes more sense!
