Help With Task 2 First-App View Django

I am not sure how to go about solving this task. I've attached my attempt. I've gone back and watched the video multiple times, but the example used with the list comprehension for the course list doesn't seem to be doing the same thing. I'd love some pointers on what is wrong with my code.

articles/views.py 
from django.http import HttpResponse
from .models import Article
# Write your views here
def article_list(request):
    output = "There are " + len(Article.objects.all())+ " articles."
    return HttpResponse(output)

# Write your views here

I think your only issue is that you are trying concatenate the strings with the int object that len() returns.

from django.http import HttpResponse

from .models import Article

# Write your views here
def article_list(request):
    count = len(Article.objects.all())
    message = "There are {} articles.".format(count)
    return HttpResponse(message)
