What am I suppose to do when it says add the same arguments to multiply view .I have tried "multiply(arg1, arg2) ... it does not like that.
from flask import Flask
app = Flask(__name__)
@app.route('/<int:num1>/<int:num2>')
@app.route('/multiply')
def multiply():
return '25'

The first challenge asked you to add a route for "/multiply", which you did. The second challenge is asking you to create another route that accepts two values, then add those values as arguments to the view. Remember in flask that the view is just another name for the function. Also it asks to set the default value of those arguments each to 5. So what this might look like is:
@app.route('/multiply/<num1>/<num2>')
@app.route('/multiply')
def multiply(num1=5, num2=5): # added the arguments to the view here.
...
Also, the first step in the challenge reminds you to return a string. You can multiply the numbers together and convert them to a string such as: return str(5 * 5). Or in this case, you can replace the 5 digits with the parameters passed into the view.
