Python Python Basics (Retired) Shopping List Lists and Strings

How do you rearrange words in a list so that the last word is the first word in Python?

I need Treehouse to be the first word in the list, for now it is the third and last word.

greeting_list.py
full_name = "Anna Makarudze"
name_list = []
name_list = ["Anna", "Makarudze"]
' '.join(name_list)

greeting_list = list()
greeting = "Hi, I'm Treehouse"
greeting_list = greeting.split()

print(greeting_list)

Anna use the position of the word in the list. greeting_list[2]=name_list[0]

i think this will do the trick

Thanks Ronald, it worked.

Hi Anna, your code works for the first two challenges, but is violating the spirit of the challenge.

# Create a variable named full_name that holds your full name
full_name = "Anna Makarudze"

# Make another variable named name_list that holds your full name as a list, split on the spaces
# name_list = [] #<-- initialization not needed
# Your are creating the name list explicitly
# name_list = ["Anna", "Makarudze"]
# to create by splitting on spaces, use the same technique you used on greeting_list:
name_list = full_name.split()

# greeting_list = list() #<-- initialization not needed
# greeting = "Hi, I'm Treehouse" #<-- this is solution for task 4
greeting_list = "Hi, I'm Treehouse".split()  #<-- split string directly
# replace "Treehouse" with your first name
greeting_list[2] = name_list[0]

# join greeting_list back into a string, separated by spaces
greeting = ' '.join(greeting_list)

# print(greeting_list) #<-- print not needed

Thanks Chris for the feedback. It was really helpful to me as new Python programmer.
