40,533 PointsWhen defining the method body you just want to give arguments a name, not just a literal value:
def set_password(user, password):
#...
You can also remove the first line of your function. Calling generate_password_hash without storing the return value won't do much for you.
If you did want your function arguments to have default values (you wouldn't for this challenge) you can do this:
def my_func(my_val="default value"):
print(my_val)
If my_func is called with no arguments passed, it will print, "default value".
