Article List Django Challenge

Hello,

The goal is to return a string with the number of articles in the string. I'm not sure why my code isn't working. Any pointers on this would be appreciated!

articles/views.py 
from django.http import HttpResponse
from .models import Article

def article_list(request):
    articles = Article.objects.all()
    num = articles.len()
    output = "There are {} articles.".format(num)
    return HttpResponse(output)

Hi William

In Python you need to use len() a bit differently:

num = len(articles)

If you change this line, all should be good. Hope this helps!
