On a new line, call the get method on the https object you created. Pass in the string of https://teamtreehouse.com/chal

why is it wrong https.get(--string--);

app.js 
const https=require('https');
const req=https.get(`https://teamtreehouse.com/chalkers.json.`,response=>{});

Be careful with creating unneccesary variables when doing challenges, as it may you may sometimes not pass the challenge because of it. With that being said let's see some of the things that's wrong here.

  1. You should not be saving the https.get() in a variable called req.
  2. You should only use single or double apostrophes for strings, not backticks as you've done in your case. Either "" or ''
  3. As your second parameter your making an arrow function named response, you should be making an anonymous function with a parameter called response
// Anonymous function
function(parameter) { }
