# Explanation
In the above solution, we made the following changes to the application:
1. In this challenge, we had to replace **lines 70 and 71** of `app.py`. We commented out these lines in the solution given above so that you can observe the changes. 

2. For the solution, we first created a `new_user` object of the `User` model class, in **line 72**.

3. Then, we added this `new_user` object to the `db.session` in **line 73**.

4. Afterward, we committed the changes in the database using `db.session.commit()` in **line 75**.

5. However, this operation can result in an exception. Therefore, we handled it by placing it between a `try-except` block. 

6. If an exception occurs, then we render the template again with the `form` and the `message` saying, *“This email already exists in the system! Please log in instead.”* You can observe this in **line 79**.


There you go! Now, our application is inserting new users in a **database**!

In this lesson, we will discuss how we can modify the signup method to insert users in the database.
