Kacper!

Just a formatting issue! Notice the placement of the "<" characters in line 2:

@app.route('/multiply')
@app.route('/multiply/<int:a>/<int:b>')
def multiply(a=5,b=5):
  a1=a
  b1=b
  return str(a*b)

Trevor Currie is right that you need < int:a > instead of int:< a >. (minus the spaces)

Also, why do you have

a1=a
b1=b

and then never use them?
