Trying to follow along in this video but when i do the add function and I run the website I don't see anything that has to do with the add function. I only get 'index' function to work.
Furthermore... It seemed like this was broken for me after a couple tries. I would change characters in the index function, even deleted it entirely and I would still get "Hello from Treehouse".
Don't know what to do here. Is it this HTML function that's not working or does it have something to do with my code?
Heres what I have:
from flask import Flask
app = Flask(__name__)
@app.route('/')
@app.route('/<name>')
def index(name='Bro'):
return "Hello from {}".format(name)
@app.route('/add/<int:num1>/<int:num2>')
@app.route('/add/<int:num1>/<float:num2>')
@app.route('/add/<float:num1>/<int:num2>')
@app.route('/add/<float:num1>/<float:num2>')
def add(num1, num2):
return """
<!doctype>
<html>
<head><title>Hello MFer</title></head>
<body>
<h1>You sexy MFer</h1>
</body>
</html>
""".format(num1, num2, num1+num2)
app.run(debug=True, port=8000, host='0.0.0.0')
[MOD: added ```python formatting -cf]

- http://192.168.0.114:8000
- http://192.168.0.114:8000/add/3/4 got back "You sexy MFer"
- http://192.168.0.114:8000/bob got back "Hello from bob"
$ python flask1.py

What URLs are you using after starting the app?

Python Development Techdegree Graduate 13,801 PointsI guess i didnt fully understand how the url was interacting with the script. I expected it to show me You sexy MFer just by adding /add at the end but i guess i need to plug in the next to arguments for that to work.

Treehouse Moderator 68,423 PointsIf you did want to have an “/add” route, you would also need to add default values for num1 and num2 in the function definition. Otherwise, the “/add” route would cause
num1to be undefined.
