I've been stuck on it for the longest time What do I use to put the first item of name_list into "Hi, I'm X"?

The code should be as follows:
full_name = "Your name"
name_list = full_name.split()
greeting_list = "Hi, I'm X".split()
greeting_list[2] = name_list[0]
greeting = " ".join(greeting_list)
If you don't understand any of the code feel free to reply and I will walk through it with you!
Have a great day!

greeting_list[2] = name_list[0] greeting = " ".join(greeting_list)

The first line you mentioned sets the "X" in greeting_list equal to the first section of name list.
The second line is used to convert the list into a string by "joining" each of the list items with a space.
If you are still having problems understanding the code feel free to ask more questions!
