Django works through the following workflow:

1. **Request**: A user makes a request to the Django server via a URL.
2. **URL Routing**: Django uses the URL dispatcher to match the request URL to a specific view function.
3. **View Processing**: The matched view function processes the request, interacts with the database if needed, and prepares a response.
4. **Template Rendering**: If the view returns HTML, Django uses templates to render the final HTML response.
5. **Response**: Django sends the generated response back to the user's browser.

This cycle continues for each request made to the server.

To set up static files in Django, follow these steps:

1. In your Django project settings (`settings.py`), add the following:
```python
STATIC_URL = '/static/'
STATICFILES_DIRS = [os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static')]
```

2. Create a directory named `static` in your project or app directory.

3. Place your static files (CSS, JavaScript, images) inside the `static` directory.

4. In your templates, load static files using:
```html
{% load static %}
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="{% static 'yourfile.css' %}">
```

5. For production, run `collectstatic` to gather all static files:
```
python manage.py collectstatic
```

Right Answer:
In Django, there are three main inheritance styles for models:

1. **Abstract Base Classes**: This style allows you to create a base class that other models can inherit from. The base class will not create a database table, but its fields can be used in child classes.

2. **Multi-Table Inheritance**: In this style, each model has its own database table. The child model inherits fields from the parent model, and a foreign key is created in the child model pointing to the parent model.

3. **Proxy Models**: This style allows you to create a new model that behaves like an existing model but can have different behavior (like custom methods or ordering). It does not create a new database table; it uses the existing table of the parent model.

Right Answer:
