Courses Plus Student 2,075 PointsThanks for your help.
it worked. I did : greeting="Hi, I'm{}".format('my first name')
Am really new to programming. Again, Thanks for your help.

The 'X' can be any name you want. You do not actually need the '[]'. And you also for got to use the dot syntax and call the split function.
greeting_list = "Hi, I'm Jordan".split()

Courses Plus Student 2,075 PointsI don't understand this question too: Lastly, change the "X" in greeting_list to the first item in your name_list variable. Then join this list back into a string and store it in the variable greeting. You should end up with "Hi, I'm <your first name>".
Is it asking I should write another variable or what?
Thanks for your help.

19,560 PointsYes it is. I thought it was kind of a vague question at first too.
Its asking you do to all that stuff in a new variable : greeting = "Hi, I'm......."
I'll give you a chance to figure out the rest before I spill the answer :) . Here's a hint tho, you need use" {}"
Hope this helps
Best of Luck

Courses Plus Student 2,075 PointsThis what i got :Your name_list's first item doesn't seem to be in your greeting!
my answer: greeting="Hi, I'm {}"
Jordan Anderson
19,560 PointsYou have to format {}. -> greeting = "Hi, I'm {}".fomat(some code in here)

19,560 PointsIt was my pleasure. I'm fairly new to the more programming side myself.
I think python is a great place for you to start! I've only done a little bit of it myself. But it has very simple, clean, and terse syntax. I believe it'll be a great way for you to break into programming and learning object oriented programming.
Best of luck!
