How to change "Treehouse" in greeting_list to the first item in your name_list variable.

Not sure how to go about this.

Thanks in advance, Nate.

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

for task 3:

full_name = "Nate Thomas"
name_list = full_name.split()
greeting_list = "Hi, I'm Treehouse".split()
greeting_list[2] = name_list[0]

Remember, split returns a list of words separated by the delimiter (the argument). If you look at the code, greeting_list should be ["Hi,", "I'm", "Treehouse"]

Thanks! I actually figured it out myself while waiting for an answer. I have a tendency of doing that.
