1,767 PointsHaving trouble with a challenge task, 3/4 within Python Basics...
full_name = "first last"
name_list = full_name.split()
greeting_list = "Hi, I'm Treehouse".split()
greeting_list2 = ("Hi, I'm".split() + name_list[0])
I realize there are probably issues with the fourth line of this code - that's not necessarily the problem...
The prompt on challenge 3 asks to replace "Treehouse" in "greeting_list" with the first list item from the "name_list" variable.
It seems that the issue is - if I replace things in this code for "greeting_list", it marks task 2 wrong because then task 2 has been changed?
However, it doesn't seem to understand making another variable for "greeting_list" (e.g., here I made "greeting_list2" to try the new code).
Is there something I'm not grasping?

1,560 PointsIt would help if you post the actual code which fails the task. I tried:
greeting_list[2] = name_list[0]
For task 3, and it still passes.

I was trying to replace the word "Treehouse" with something else by rewriting the variable's definition but I did just learn about replacing values in lists, duh!!
Thanks!
