💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Mixing up STATIC_URL and STATIC_ROOT values.

Using '/media/' for STATIC_URL instead of '/static/'.

STATIC_URL is the URL prefix for static files, usually '/static/'. STATIC_ROOT is the folder where static files are collected, often 'staticfiles'.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to create a dictionary comprehension that collects file sizes for static files larger than 1000 bytes.

Django

file_sizes = {file: os.path.getsize(file) for file in static_files if os.path.getsize(file) [1] [2] and file.endswith('[3]')}

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

B1000

C.css

D<

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using '<' instead of '>' for size comparison.

Using wrong file extension like '.js' instead of '.css'.

This comprehension filters static files larger than 1000 bytes and ending with '.css', then maps each file to its size.
