445 Pointsit states create a var named full_name and set it to your full name, then create a var named name_list and set it to a list of your name and have itspaced

445 Pointshow would I go about that? this is the only thing im confused on

10,120 PointsYou could use the string.split() method to separate the first and last names. Make sure there is an empty space in between the first and last name within one string.
For example:
name = 'first last'
name_list = name.split(' ')
