You need to call .split() on full_name, split uses spaces to determine where to split the string, in my_sentence there is no space.

hie sharad.

you didn't have to create the variable my_sentence because it now holds something different from the name in full_name. Just call .split() on full name like the question says. Calling split on my_sentence will not split your name on spaces because from what I see there are no spaces in my_sentence so just get rid of that other variable

full_name = "shantu ga"

name_list = full_name.split()
