Python Python Basics (Retired) Shopping List Lists and Strings

It doesn't tell me anything about an error only that "bummer! your name_list doesn't match your name."

it says that it doesn't match my name. does that mean that its taking data from other projects where I may have just put in what ever instead of my name? how can we reset this? I went back into the other projects and none of it is saved. This could be a deal breaker if its collecting information like this.

greeting_list.py
full_name = "***** ******"
name_list = " ".split(full_name)

Hi, Warren, You didn't use the split() correctly.

full_name = "***** ******"
name_list = full_name.split()

yep I see that now. Thanks. I was too wrapped up around the error output not matching my name and not what was happening.

PS> no tree house doesnt take data from other projects.. in fact when it asks you for your full name in such exercises, there is no need to enter your real name.. i just do add sodded as the emphasis is not on the data entry rather what functions you may have learnt
