I don't know what's wrong with my answer.

Not sure what's the problem with my answer.

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

# Write your views here
def article_list(request):
    articles = Article.objects.all()
    output = "There are " + articles.len() + " articles."
    return HttpResponse(output)

Hello Jose, you're on the right track. Remember that len() returns the length (the number of items) of an object. The argument may be a sequence (such as a string, bytes, tuple, list, or range) or a collection (such as a dictionary, set, or frozen set). And you can use .format() to format the results. So your code above would look like:

from django.http import HttpResponse
from .models import Article

# Write your views here
def article_list(request):
    articles = Article.objects.all()
    output = "There are {} articles.".format(len(articles))
    return HttpResponse(output)
