Why does my code not work? Challenge Task 3 of 3 - Shopping List

Ah, okay. It looks like you have everything correct up till the the for loop. You can complete this challenge without the for loop.

full_name = "Imer Pacheco"

name_list = full_name.split()

greeting_list = "Hi, I'm X".split()
greeting_list[2] = name_list[0]
greeting = " ".join(greeting_list)
print(greeting)

No need to iterate through a loop. You can just replaces the in the list at the right index. (I tested it in Workspaces, and it does the trick. It should pass the challenge.)

Hi Imer. You are getting a syntax error due to improper indentation. Python is unusual in that the indentation is part of the syntax rather than just a convenience for readability's sake. Below is the correct indentation:

full_name = "Imer Pacheco"

name_list = full_name.split()

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

for item in greeting_list: 
  if item == "X": 
    print(name_list[0])

greeting = " ".join(greeting_list)

print(greeting)

Thank you for your response Tree. I'm afraid the way I cut and pasted my code in the browser was not an accurate representation of my code. I actually did have the exact indentation you suggested. Currently, the code evaluates to the following in Workspaces:

Imer

Hi, I'm X

I'm still not clear as to how to replace the "X" with my first name.

Tree, you are amazing! Thank you so much. Turned out to be a simpler solution than what I was doing. I appreciate your guidance :)
