Hi Dana, try using your variables and splitting them inside the list like so : <p> full_name = "Dana a Yousif"
# This will store your name in a variable called full_name.

  name_list = list(full_name.split()) 
  # This will store the variable in a list split in the middle.

  Just remember that the method .split() is used to split variables. 
  So you have to specify it on the variable name. Please let me know 
  if you have any questions.
