What is missing in my code?

The question is to create a Challenge with the function's parameter as the attributes

crud.py 
from models import Challenge
def create_challenge(name, language, steps = 1):
  Challenge.create(name = 'rabih', language = 'english', steps = 1)

The arguments being passed into create should be assigned the values that were passed in to the create_challenge function.

and now it's still not working: from models import Challenge def create_challenge(name, language, steps = 1): Challenge.create(name = "Ruby", language = "Booleans", steps) pass

That's still hard wiring in literals. It looks strange, but you can do stuff like name = name when dealing with the inner call to the create method.
