Python Python Basics (Retired) Shopping List Lists and Strings

Shopping challenge

I still don't understand where I am going wrong.

greeting_list.py
full_name = "Michelle Mangwiro"
name_list = full_name. split()
greeting_list = "Hi, I am Treehouse".split()

The error is in the third line. "I am" should be the contraction: "I'm":

full_name = "Michelle Mangwiro"
name_list = full_name. split()
greeting_list = "Hi, I'm Treehouse".split()

One correction:

full_name = "Michelle Mangwiro"
name_list = full_name.split()
greeting_list = "Hi, I'm Treehouse".split() #<-- Add missing comma
greeting_list [2] = name_list [0]
greeting = ' '.join(greeting_list)
full_name = "Michelle Mangwiro"
name_list = full_name.split()
greeting_list = "Hi I'm Treehouse".split()
greeting_list [2] = name_list [0]
greeting = ' '.join(greeting_list)

It took me a while for this one :)
