Create a function named create_challenge() that takes name, language, and steps arguments. Steps should be optional, so give it a default value of 1. Create a Challenge from the arguments. create_challenge should not return anything. ... how is it missing arguments? please help =)

crud.py 
from models import Challenge
def create_challenge(Challenge):
    name = CharField(max_length=100)
    language = CharField(max_length=100)
    steps = IntegerField(default=1)
