Courses Plus Student 901 PointsString plit
So the question is: Create a variable named greeting_list that's the string "Hi, I'm Treehouse" split on the spaces.
Isnt this the answer? greeting_list = "Hi, I'm Treehouse".split()
greeting_list = "Hi, I'm Treehouse".split()

full_name = "Ryan Stuff"
name_list = full_name.split()
greeting_list = "Hi, I'm Treehouse"
greeting_list = greeting_list.split()
Perhaps the formatting threw you off. But this works for me.

23,309 PointsHey,
You are running split() on a String literal. Try it in a variable first. Like below.
greeting_list = "Hi, I'm Treehouse"
greeting_list = greeting_list.split()
Let me know if that helps solve your issue?

Courses Plus Student 901 PointsOh it's cause I didn't include my code from the previous question about splitting your name. When I post your code including your full_name.split() bit it works.
Thanks for the help. :-)

Courses Plus Student 901 PointsThanks but that doesn't seem to work either. Here's a screenshot FWIW: http://i.imgur.com/L2KWx0L.png
I also tried it with a space in the split:
spl_string = "Hi, I'm Treehouse"
greeting_list = spl_string.split(' ')
but that didnt work either.
