442 PointsStuck joining a list into a string and storing it in a new variable for greeting_list.py
Script so far but I don't know how to join this list back into a string and store it in the variable 'greeing', ending up w/ 'greeting' containing "Hi, I'm <your first name>".
full_name = "Dal Mister"
name_list = "Dal Mister".split()
print name_list
greeting_list = "Hi, I'm X".split()
print greeting_list
greeting_list.remove(greeting_list[2])
greeting_list.append(name_list[0])
for item in greeting_list:
print (item + " ")

full_name = "Dal Mister"
name_list = "Dal Mister".split()
print name_list
greeting_list = "Hi, I'm X".split()
print greeting_list
greeting_list.remove(greeting_list[2])
greeting_list.append(name_list[0])
result='' " #creating a new variable
for item in greeting_list:
result=result+item+" " #storing the item in the result
print result #If the above logic is part of a function and you want to return the value then use "return result" instead of print result

442 PointsThanks! I actually figured it out right after posting this. Could't find a way to remove my post. Is there a way?
