If I add append my first name from name_list into greeting list 'Treehouse' will still be there.
full_name = 'zakaria arr'
name_list = ['zakaria', 'arr']
greeting_list = "Hi, I'm Treehouse".split()

['Hi,', "I'm", 'Treehouse']
Individual items in an array can be accessed directly using bracket notation. This is written by following the array with [], with the index number for the item in the array. Array indexes start with zero. So to get the first item of name_list, you use:
In Python, individual items in an array can also be set using bracket notation. So if you want to change 'Treehouse' in the greeting_list array to the first item in the name_list array, you simply set the last item in greeting_list equal to the first item in name_list.
```greeting_list[2] = name_list[0]```
