Hi, I don't know how to check my work in task 2 as I keep receiving the error "It looks like Task 1 is not passing".

Thanks

Could you post the Code you currently have? I'd be more than happy to provide some insight.

Hi Monja.

greeting_list = "Hi, I'm Treehouse".split(' ')

This is what U R looking 4.

Task says you have to create a new variable "greeting_list" and give it the string "Hi, I'm Treehouse" and split the string with spaces.

Hope this helped a bit.

Happy Coding!!!

Hi Monja. Could you paste your code to show what you have so far (check the Markdown Cheatsheet link below the text field for formatting help)? Generally what can happen is after you pass task 1, if you later add code that prevents your script from interpreting/compiling properly, task 1 can stop passing. Let me know if that helps answer your question!

Hi Steven,

I've finally found the mistake. At the beginning I thought it wasn't related to my code as I was expecting a "bummer" message, but then I realized I was using parenthesis and when I changed them with square brackets I passed to the third task. Shame. Sorry.

Thanks everybody for answering. It was a syntax error, I used parenthesis instead of square brackets.
