Treehouse Moderator 68,425 PointsSimilar to how you split your full_name into a list of items, the split()
method works on any string.
Given a string "Hi, I'm Treehouse", you can split on spaces by adding the split()
method:
"Hi, I'm Treehouse".split()
You can then assign it to the variable greeting_list
:
greeting_list = "Hi, I'm Treehouse".split()

The code you have written will solve the problem but you need to create a variable called "greeting_list" (rather than name_list) and use the string specified in the question.

7,946 Pointsthe variable name should be set to " greeting_list" not "full_name" so you should code like this: greeting_list ="Hi, I'm Treehouse".split()
