Question

create_challenge() takes 1 positional argument but 3 were given ...
what more can I do?
crud.py
from models import Challenge
def create_challenge():
    name = CharField(max_length=100)
    language = CharField(max_length=100)
    steps = IntegerField(default=1)

From the create function (https://teamtreehouse.com/library/using-databases-in-python/gettin-crudy-with-it/crud-create-function) Challenge Task 1 of 1
Create a function named create_challenge() that takes name, language, and steps arguments. Steps should be optional, so give it a default value of 1. Create a Challenge from the arguments. create_challenge should not return anything.
The model Challenge is imported for you.  To create a new model instance use the Challenge create() method.  In the create_challenge() function, pass the arguments to the create() method:
```python
from models import Challenge
def create_challenge(name, language, steps=1):
    '''Create Challenge model instance. 
    Arguments: name, language, steps (default 1) '''
# Create Challenge
Challenge.create(name=name, language=language, steps=steps)
```
