454 PointsNot sure how this can be wrong for the Challenge Task 3 of 4 in python
I followed the direction and added the code line and i keep getting an error. I've tried it in a python ide and it works fine. i just can't figure out what part of the instructions i am missing.
full_name = "pedro surillo"
name_list = full_name.split()
greeting_list = "Hi, I'm " +name_list[0]

Welcome to Treehouse;
For Task 3 of this challenge we are wanting to change out something in our greeting_list from Task 2, not alter the code from Task 2.
change "Treehouse" in greeting_list to the first item in your name_list variable.
"Treehouse" resides at index 2 in our greeting_list string and our name_list first item resides at index 0, correct?
How could we add another line of code that would change "Treehouse" to be equal to "Pedro", in this case?
Post back if you are still stuck.

If you use list functions, you can pass this challenge. Your do really get correct output, but the goal of this challenge is to test the usage of python list.
full_name = "David Lee"
name_list = full_name.split()
greeting_list = "Hi, I'm Treehouse".split()
greeting_list[len(greeting_list)-1] = name_list[0]
Sincerely,
Pedro Surillo
