Basically, in the create method on the Challenge, you assign the parameters from the function to the model variables from the model we created in the previous challenge. It goes like this: Challenge.create(name=name, language=language, steps=steps)

18,975 PointsI saw a post about this challenge and the student passed with setting the arguments to themselves (name=name) on the create() function, including the steps argument when it’s 1 by default.

231,236 PointsExactly. An example of the "keyword arguments" I mentioned would be "
name=name".Matthew Smith

3,083 PointsThe problem with this particular challenge is that it involves working with the Challenge class from models. The video prior to this is about the diary.py app that the instructor is writing. For many of these challenges using the Challenge class, we don't have visibility into what the challenge class contains. We can look at the documentation for the peewee library, but there is a level of abstraction between that and this challenge.
