Can someone please explain how to do part 4 of 4 on the shopping list challenge of python basics. Anything helps!

greeting_list.py 
full_name = "Oliver Carnes"
name_list = full_name.split()

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

The was adapted from my answer to this question.

The challenge for Shopping List contain 4 parts.

Challenge Task 4 of 4 -- Great! Finally, make a variable named greeting where you join greeting_list back into a string, separated by spaces. You should end up with "Hi, I'm < your first name >" as the value of greeting.

Strings also have a join() method. The join() method uses a base string as a joiner between items in a list. To join the updated greeting_list into a string, use the join() method on a string containing a single space like this:

greeting = " ".join(greeting_list)
