I have seen this code in another post and I trying to understand it. can someone please explain why we pass 3 functions and how this code is CRUD?
thanks
from models import Challenge
def create_challenge():
pass
def create_challenge(name, language, steps):
pass
def create_challenge(name, language, steps=1):
pass
def create_challenge(name, language, steps=1):
Challenge.create(
name=name,
language=language,
steps=steps)

Treehouse Moderator 68,457 PointsThe code you posted is a step-by-step solution to the challenge. Each definition adds the next requirement of that Task. One would not normally code this way. In python, the last definition of an object takes precedence so the previous definitions are overwritten and only the last one is checked as the solution to the challenge.
Post back if you need more information.
