Need help with variables and lists. I'm completely lost

Create a variable named full_name that holds your full name. Make another variable named name_list that holds your full name as a list, split on the spaces. Don't create name_list manually! I have no idea what I'm doing. I went back into the videos to help myself out and thought I figured it out. Nope still clueless.

greeting_list.py 
full_name = 'Frank Sherlotti'

name_list = list('Frank Sherlotti')

full_name = "barak obama" name_list = full_name.split() Doing so you create a list with two elements... your first and your last name
