What's Wrong With My Answer?!?

What's wrong here? I have no clue.

user_friendships_controller.rb 
class UserFriendshipsController < ApplicationController
  def create
    if @user_friendship.save
      flash[:success] = "Friendship created."
    end
  end
end

Hi Matej

Nothing wrong, the question itself is a bit vague, however, you need to create UserFriendship instance first before IF statement. 

class UserFriendshipsController < ApplicationController
  def create
    @user_friendship = UserFriendship.new(params[:user_friendship])
    if @user_friendship.save
      flash[:success] = "Friendship created."
    end
  end
end
