I am so confused

CHALLENGE: Create a function named search_challenges that takes two arguments, name and language. Return all Challenges where the name field contains name argument and the language field is equal to the language argument. Use == for equality. You don't need boolean and or binary & for this, just put both conditions in your where().

I need someone to help me go through this challenge, i don't quite understand what they want me to do with the ==

i need hints!!, no answers =D thanks in advance

crud.py 
from models import Challenge


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

def search_challenges(name,language):
    challenges = Challenge.select().where(Challenge.contains(name, language == language))

Hi Angel. This was tough for me!

I finally found the Peewee documentation from the earlier video's Teacher's Notes

This is the one time searching the web & stack overflow led me astray, but searching my own class notes helped!

My hint: where() takes this format:

Object.select().where(condition1, condition2)

and of course condition1 uses .contains() while condition2 doesn't. Hope this works out for you!
