This passed the challenge.
from django.http import HttpResponse
def index(request):
return HttpResponse('Hello Treehouse')

4,302 PointsI mean why should we have a request as an argument?

13,023 Pointsrequest is an argument because that is the browsers request to the server and contains tons of information you will need in your views. It contains the logged in user, the request method (POST or GET, ect), and tons more. You will need all this information and django passes that argument. If your function doesn't accept it django gets an error back saying, well I tried to give you all this information but you didn't accept it.
