What's wrong in this ?

I think that this code is perfectly fine. But its giving me an error.

flask_app.py 
from flask import Flask

app = Flask(__name__)


@app.route('/<name>')
def hello(name):
     return 'Hello {}'.format(name)

Hello Sai.

i presume you are stuck at 3/3 part.

The problem is that in task 1/3 you did not add a route, but you modified the ('/') route. I would suggest you add that initial route again and then set the name equal to "Treehouse" (this is the procedure to have it set to "Treehouse" as default value).

I hope this makes it clear.
