I did Complete Part 1 and 2, but I can't understand Part 3. What does it actually request me to do?

As in the topic

greeting_list.py 
full_name = 'Yevgen Kravets'
name_list = full_name.split()
greeting_list = "Hi, I'm X".split()
greeting_list[2] = name_list[0]
greeting = greeting_list.join()

Hello my friend, you're doing a great job! But there's a mistake using .join()

You should do it like this:

greeting = ' '.join(greeting_list)

Hope this helps :)

Thanks! I actually figured it too. For some reason I got confused with where to put a separator for joining the list in this case. But thanks for your help!

Like I said in the video, and have said repeatedly, the .join() syntax is weird in Python.
