Directions:
Create a variable named greeting_list that's the string "Hi, I'm X" split on the spaces.
Current syntax:
full_name = "Craig Reed Williams" name_list = full_name.split() greeting_list = split("Hi, I'm ") + name_list
What is the correct syntax?
Thank you.
full_name = "Craig Reed Williams"
name_list = full_name.split()
greeting_list = split("Hi, I'm ") + name_list

Treehouse Guest TeacherTo split a string on the spaces, you call the .split() method on the string.
>>> "Hi, I'm a string".split()
["Hi", "I'm", "a", "string"]
You don't need to combine name_list and greeting_list.
