How do I change "Treehouse" in greeting_list to the first item in your name_list variable?

Kinda stuck here.

greeting_list.py 
full_name = "First Last"
name_list = full_name.split(" ")
greeting_list = "Hi, I'm Treehouse".split(" ")

Hi Ian,

Since we split the "Hi, I'm Treehouse" string based on spaces and stored the resulting split data in greeting_list, "Treehouse" is the third item in the greeting_list list now.

Because lists start at 0 (meaning that the first item in a list is considered the '0th' item), we will be setting the the third value in greeting_list equal to the first value in name_list.

greeting_list[2] = name_list[0]

Hope this helps!
