My Day 85

Hi Admins, I noticed that David’s Solution to the Broken Code (Fix my code) is not working :frowning:
Can you please check why?

oh ok, I actually found out why…
He’s using

if session["myName"]:

instead of

if session.get("myName"):

What makes the difference here?

Is the course using a database or a list?
