This is the question: "Create a variable named full_name that holds your full name. Make another variable named name_list that holds your full name as a list, split on the spaces. Don't create name_list manually! "

my answer, for starters is did you rewatch the video? The video gives you pretty much what you need to know. The spaces mentioned are the spaces in your full name. For example in "John Q. Jones" there are spaces between John and Q. and between Q. and Jones.

I hope this helps.

It is ease You need create a list of names, so doesn't matter how many spaces you are

  1. Matt Damon
  2. John Q. Jones

Search the first space and cut till there. You list of names should be 1. Matt 2. John 3. Michael

Create the string variable with your name and then use the split method to make a list. I highly recommend the "Lists" video. I hope I have helped out a bit if you have not figured it out yet.
