Hi Yukun,

You may not understand what 'pass in' means, but you did it just fine anyway. You 'passed in' the string given in the challenge to the 'get' method. That just means putting it between the parentheses of the method as a parameter.

If you are having trouble passing this task of the challenge, it's because you assigned the get request to a variable. The task did not ask you to do that.

Hope this helps.
