facing error in list - create a variable named greeting_list that's the string"Hi, I'm Treehouse" split on the spaces

what's the error in this?

greeting_list.py 
full_name = ("tanuja, veera")
full_name.split()
name_list = full_name.split()

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

I've corrected your code so far:

full_name = ("veera tanuja") #<-- Task expects "FirstNamea LastName". parens not needed.
#full_name.split() #<-- statement not used
name_list = full_name.split()

greeting_list = "Hi, I'm Treehouse".split() #<-- Split list directly
