The split method should always be called on the string you want to split with where you want the the string to be split in between the brackets in string form. In this case, your code should be:
full_name="nyasha chawanda"
name_list=full_name.split(" ")
greeting_list="Hi,i'm Treehouse".split(" ")
It was missing the " " between the brackets in the split method.

Treehouse Guest TeacherSpacing and capitalization is important. Your greeting_list string should be "Hi, I'm Treehouse" with capital letters on each word and a space after the comma. Yes, it's picky. So is programming :)

Treehouse Guest Teacher"Hello there".split()and"Hello there".split(" ")will produce exactly the same output..split(), with no arguments, splits on whitespace (spaces, tabs, new lines).
