How would i make this script.

I was wondering wondering what was wrong with my code and how to do this correctly.

greeting_list.py 
full_name = ("Zachary Albano")
    for item in full_name:
      print(item)

if you swap the parentheses for [], then full_name will be a list instead of a string full_name = ["Zachary Albano"]

In Python, white space matters, so you want to remove the indentation in front of for item in full_name:

then your code should loop through your list of one item and print that item out

That seemed to do it. Thanks!
