Great! Finally, make a variable named greeting where you join greeting_list back into a string, separated by spaces. You should end up with "Hi, I'm <your first name>" as the value of greeting. cant seem to get it
full_name = "chey pettitt"
name_list = full_name.split(" ")
greeting_list = "Hi, I'm chey".split(" ")
greeting = .join("greeting_list")

3,957 PointsWhat variables are you starting with? Do you mean like this:
In [1]: greeting_list = "Hi, I'm chey".split(" ")
In [2]: greeting_list Out[2]: ['Hi,', "I'm", 'chey']
In [3]: space = " "
In [4]: greeting = space.join(greeting_list)
In [5]: greeting Out[5]: "Hi, I'm chey"

Do you mean like this:
In [9]: greeting = "Hi, I'm " + full_name
In [10]: greeting Out[10]: "Hi, I'm chey pettitt"
Or do you need to take a list of strings and construct the sentence?
