1,983 PointsI'm getting an error that I should be adding a default name "Treehouse" as an argument in the hello method.
I am doing this in the correct method as you can see in the code. Why am I still getting this error?
from flask import Flask
app = Flask(__name__)
@app.route('/<name>')
def hello(name="Treehouse"):
return "Hello {}".format(name)

The new functionality needs to be added to the provided code without removing what it already did.
