Can't pass challenge "task 1 is no longer passing"

I can't pass the "Shopping List" challenge regardless of what I do. I'll clear steps 1 and 2, but regardless of whatever code I enter into step 3, an error comes up and says

"Oops! It looks like Task 1 is no longer passing".

Anyone know how to advance?

Few things you should remember are

  • splitting,
  • indexing and
  • joining.

SPLITTING

On line two and three of below code snippet I split the full_name variable's value and "Hi, I'm X" by using a function called split(). By default, split() splits by white space.

INDEXING

On line four, I use indexing to insert a value(name_list first value) to the last position of greeting_list.

JOINING

On line five, I joined them using join().

CODE SNIPPET

full_name = "Karthikeyan Palaniswamy"
name_list = full_name.split()
greeting_list = "Hi, I'm X".split()
greeting_list[2]=name_list[0]
greeting = " ".join(greeting_list)

I hope it helps

Thanks, but this isn't relevant to the actual issue I'm dealing with
