Here's a few hints:

  • you wouldn't want to assign empty strings to variables and then multiply them
  • you don't want to assume any specific number of arguments, you'll probably need a loop
  • your function will need to make use of "args"
  • you will return only the product
  • you only need to define the function, not call it
