You are creating a dictionary with the name “context”.
A dictionary is initialized by surrounding key-value pairs in braces. { }
The key and the value is separated by a colon. :
The pairs are separated from each other by a comma. ,
Example: dictionary = { key1: value1, key2: value2, key3: value3 }
Inside the context dictionary is one key of a string with the data
‘latest_question_list’.
That key is assigned the value of latest_question_list, which is a name that
points to the value returned by Question.objects.order_by(‘-pub_date’)[:5].
template.render is a function that takes a context and a request.
request was an argument passed into the view function named index.
context is the dictionary with the value we assigned it above.
template.render returns a value that is passed to HttpResponse, which the view
named index returns.
