How do I structure the "Hi, I'm ... string so that it includes the first item in my "full_name" list?

Question

I'm stuck on replacing "Treehouse" with my First Name. Any hints?

greeting_list.py

full_name = 'Ryan Dodds'

name_list = full_name.split()

greeting_list = "Hi, I'm {}".format(full_name[0])

full_name = [Ryan Dodds]

does this work? =D

I think you accidently referenced full_name when you meant to reference name_list.

greeting_list = "Hi, I'm {}".format(full_name[0])

# should be 

greeting_list = "Hi, I'm {}".format(name_list[0])

If you're looking to output, "Hi, I'm Ryan", you could use this:

greeting_list = "Hi, I'm {}".format(full_name[:full_name.find(' ')])

This will output the text which comes before the first space found in the string and save you creating a variable.

Hi there Ryan,

We need to replace the 3rd item in greeting_list with the first item in name_list.

full_name = 'Ryan Dodds'
name_list = full_name.split()

greeting_list = ["Hi,", "I'm", "Treehouse"]
greeting_list[2] = name_list[0]

I didn't realize this was for a challenge with my other answer.
