Hi guys, i am stuck in here, can someone please correct me? Thanks!

"We've been tasked to continue with this prototype site. Have a look in the index.js and routes.js file and familiarize yourself. In the routes.js, just like the other two functions create an about function for a /about route. Have it print out "About\n" to the response. Remember to make this accessible by other files."

routes.js 
function root(request, response) {
    if(request.url == "/") {
        response.writeHead(200, {'Content-type': "text/plain"});
        response.end("Home\n");
    }
}

function contact(request, response) {
    if(request.url == "/contact") {
        response.writeHead(200, {'Content-type': "text/plain"});
        response.end("Contact\n");
    }
}
function about(request, response) {
  if(request.url == "/about")  {
    response.writeHead(200, {"Content-type" : "text/plain"});
    reponse.end("About\n");
  }
}

module.exports.root = root;
module.exports.contact = contact;
index.js 
var http = require("http");
var routes = require("./routes.js");

http.createServer(function(request, response){
    routes.root(request, response);
    routes.contact(request, response);
}).listen(3000);

Hi Zubeyr,

You're missing the last part of the instructions "Remember to make this accessible by other files."

Currently, only 'root' and 'contact' have been exported at the end of the file.

You also have a typo with response in your about function

reponse.end("About\n");
