Uncaught Error: Call to a member function render() on null in index.php:9 Not sure what I’m doing wrong

I’m getting the error “Uncaught Error: Call to a member function render() on null in index.php:9”

index.php
<?php
require 'Slim.php';

$app = new \Slim\Slim();

/*  add your code below this line */

$app->get('/hello', function(){
    $app->render('index.php');
});

/* add your code above this line */

$app->run();

I found the answer from another poster on the forum. Here’s the link, for anyone who runs into the same issue: https://teamtreehouse.com/community/route-indexphp

The question on the quiz had been: “ Add a 'get' route '/hello' to index.php.

I guess I gave too much information in my original answer, it was simply expecting:

<?php
$app->get('/hello', function () {

});
?>

I think this was because Slim likely applies any get functions to the index.php if no other page is indicated?
