What value? the 1st question in the Quiz is: "Output the value in the variable timestamp into your template."

Please someone can explain what value the quiz is writing about? Its something missing from the question or we have to guess?

In a Django temple, all values are passed in the view context. So the assumption here is that timestamp is passed in this context and is available as a template variable.

So, what is the notation to show a context variable in a Django template?

Post back if you need more help. Good luck!!!

You seem to be missing a trailing curly bracket at the end of the second line.

In the case of this challenge, there isn't a need to use with/endwith. Also, the date format string as specified in the challenge text should be "m/d/y, H:i"
