6,576 Pointsdon't understand why this code doesn't work
I wrote the following code and don't understand why it isn't correct.
from flask import Flask
app = Flask(name)
@app.route('/multiply') @app.route('/multiply/num1/num2') def multiply(num1=5, num2=5): return str(num1*num2)
from flask import Flask
app = Flask(__name__)
@app.route('/multiply')
@app.route('/multiply/num1/num2')
def multiply(num1=5, num2=5):
return str(num1*num2)

Post back if you need more help. Good luck!!

from flask import Flask
app = Flask(__name__)
@app.route('/multiply')
@app.route('/multiply/num1/num2')
def multiply(<int:num1>=5, <int:num2>=5):
return str(num1*num2)
[MOD: added ```python formatting -cf]

Treehouse Moderator 68,457 Pointssorry, I should have been more clear. The <int:num1> goes in the app.route line.
