What do you mean by create a Challenge from the arguments? Cannot go further.

I guess I don't quite understand the question.

I don't know what to do after this.

crud.py 
from models import Challenge


def create_challenge(name, language, steps = 1): 
    Challenge = name, language, steps

You have to use the function ".create" so you can actually create a new instance of a "Challenge", and you have to assign the values that you have received as parameters to that newly created Challenge. You can do it like this:

from models import Challenge

def create_challenge(name, language, steps = 1): 
    Challenge.create(name=name, language=language, steps=steps)

I hope that helps a little bit

Wow, that is weird. I had the same code but with the lines separated it wouldn't parse...:

from models import Challenge

def create_challenge(name, language, steps = 1): 
    Challenge.create(
        name=name, 
        language=language, 
        steps=steps
        )

Does anyone know why that would be?
