2,092 PointsWhy isnt this working?
For some reason this is not giving me a pass? Even though I can clearly see that it is indeed changing greeting_list[3] with name_list[0]

2,092 Pointsok, changed my code. I know i didnt need a if, but for fun:) full_name = 'Gordon Evans' name_list = full_name.split() greeting_list = "Hi, I'm a Treehouse".split() greeting_list[2] = name_list[0] works great, but I got the answer from another post. If someone could please explain why greeting_list[2] works instead of greeting_list[3]. I thought because I wanted to directly change item 3 in list, I would need to use [3]
