Hello Olivia,

So basically there are now two lists.

The first is the name_list=["Olivia", "Yen", "Chau"]

The second is the greeting_list=["Hi,", "I'm", "Treehouse"]

So the first element of name_list needs to be swapped with the third element of the greeting_list. Remember that indexing in Python starts at zero. So switching the two values can be done like this:

greeting_list[2]=name_list[0]
