full_name = "Full name"
name_list = full_name.split()
greeting_list = "Hi, I'm X".split()
greeting_list[2] = name_list[0]
greeting = " ".join(greeting_list)
First you are asked to set the "X" in greeting list equal to your first name that is stored in the name_list variable. This is done using the line below:
greeting_list[2] = name_list[0]
Then you are asked to join the greeting_list together into a variable called greeting. That is done using the code below:
greeting = " ".join(greeting_list)
If you do not understand the solution or how it works then please feel free to ask!
