I changed the parameter names to req and res respectively. But it says they are not defined. Anyone else?

It tells me response is not defined, but request seems to be fine..

app.js 
'use strict';

var express = require('express');

var app = express();

app.get('/', function(req, res){
  response.send("I Love Treehouse!");
});

app.listen(3000);

Hello Michael! Just wanted this question answered.. All you have to do is replace "response" with your second parameter which is "res"

res.send("I Love Treehouse!");

It actually says response is not defined. You're supposed to replace it with "res", remember?

:point_right: Change the names on both lines 7 and 8.

Yeah, I figured it out about five minutes after I posted the question. Sorry for the trouble!
