Great! Finally, make a variable named greeting where you join greeting_list back into a string, separated by spaces. You

help

greeting_list.py 
full_name = "adrianne browning"
name_list = full_name.split()
greeting_list = "Hi, I'm Treehouse".split()
greeting_list[2] = name_list[0]

HI Adrianne

By this point greeting_list should contain all of the required information so you now need to concatenate each item in the list putting a space in between each.

So you should end up with something like:

greeting = greeting_list[0] + " " + greeting_list[1] + " " + greeting_list[2]

Hope it helps!

Or you could just .join() them. greeting = ' '.join(greeting_list)

Oh yeah! That's much better than my way :)

I totally forgot about using the join method like this. Perhaps it's time to review some lessons!
