Please read through my code and tell me what I'm missing. So frustrated. Videos move too quickly for me.

Please read through my code and tell me what I'm missing.

greeting_list.py 
full_name="Kalyani Balasubramanian"
name_list=full_name.split()
greeting_list="Hi, I'm Treehouse".split()
greeting_list[2]=name_list[0]
greeting=join(greeting_list)

Hi,

For join you need to specify a string to use to join the the list together into a string. 

greeting= " ".join(greeting_list)

This would place a space character between each element in greeting_list in the new list.
