Lists and Strings: Challege Task 4

After reaching the Challenge at the end of Lists and Strings, it is asking me to manipulate the strings for a greeting Once I get to step 4, however, if I enter what I think is correct it refers me back to Step 1

The code I want to enter is: greeting = greeting_list.join(" ")

after entering this, it tells me that Step 1 no longer works. When I remove it, and go back to step one, and don't change any other code, it works.

Can anyone tell me what code it's looking for?

Thanks,

Jeremy

greeting_list.py 
full_name = "Jeremy James Graslie"
name_list = full_name.split(" ")
greeting_list = "Hi, I'm Treehouse".split(" ")
greeting_list[2] = name_list[0]

You've got the right idea, Python just uses a different syntax for join.

greeting = " ".join(greeting_list) # It's 'backwards' from what you're intuitively trying.
