Have I used up all my questions? I no longer get any help. My question is, How do I change "Treehouse" in my greeting_list to the first item in your name_list variable? Please assist me in solving this because I'm stuck. Thanks very much.
full_name = "terence kelley"
name_list = "terence kelley"
name_list = full_name.split()
greeting_list = "Hi, I'm Treehouse".split()
greeting_list = "Terence"

name_list = "terence kelley" # not needed
You can simply remove above line.
greeting_list = "Terence" # doesn't do what question asks for
Given task is to change last element of greeting_list to first element of name_list.
The index of last item in the list can always be referred as -1
The index of first item in the list can always be referred as 0
greeting_list[-1] = name_list[0]
Last step is joining greeting_list in greeting variable.
Join() works as follow separator.join(list)
greeting = ' '.join(greeting_list) # Space character is used.

The index of first item in the list can always be referred as 0(I still do not understand this) please explain. greeting = ' '.join(greeting_list) # Space character is used. (This is unclear and not explained. I still do not understand this) please explain.
