What happen with my output

I have used len() to take query set the number of article but I can't get the right output

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

You are close. But you have a few issues:

  • To get all articles instead of Article.object.all it should be Article.objects.all() See this video @ 1:40
  • In your output string there should be a space before "articles" and a period at the end.
  • In your return statement HttpResponse begins with a capital H

Write your views here

def article_list(request): article_list = str(len(Article.objects.all()) output = 'There are' + ' ' + article_list + ' articles' HttpRespone(output) If keep stat that "Bummer: invalid syntax (views.py, line 8) " -( the output line) what do you mean "a period at the end."

A period after articles. With the changes you'd have:

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