Challenge task 2

full_name = "Akeno morrell" name_list = full_name.split() greeting_list = ["Hi, I'm X"]

This what i have so far and you can only split on strings not list so how do i convert the list back to string to call the method split on it

Akeno Morrell Challenge 2 says greeting_list is a string. Meaning collection of word(s) then split on white space. So

greeting_list = "Hi, I'm X".split()

So, now greeting_list will be ["Hi,", "I'm","X" ]. If you wonder how greeting_list become list.

split() function splits the string by white space and outputs list.

So when you use split() with "Hi, I'm X". split() function splits the string by white space.

I hope it helps.

Don't put the string INTO greeting_list, make greeting_list FROM the string.
