multiply views 5/5: Task 1 is no longer passing

I have changed the response to multiply the two arguments and return their product. Looks like this:

from flask import Flask

app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route('/multiply')
@app.route('/multiply/<int:num1>/<int:num2>')
@app.route('/multiply/<float:num1>/<int:num2>')
@app.route('/multiply/<int:num1>/<float:num2>')
@app.route('/multiply/<float:num1>/<float:num2>')
def multiply(num1=5,num2=5):
  return '{} * {} = {}.format(num1, num2, num1*num2)'

I'm getting: Task 1 is no longer passing as I've changed the response. Am I missing something?

Fixed:

 from flask import Flask

app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route('/multiply')
@app.route('/multiply/<int:num1>/<int:num2>')
@app.route('/multiply/<float:num1>/<int:num2>')
@app.route('/multiply/<int:num1>/<float:num2>')
@app.route('/multiply/<float:num1>/<float:num2>')
def multiply(num1=5,num2=5):
   return str(num1*num2)

If you're still interested, when a challenge says "Task 1 is no longer working" it usually means a syntax error was introduced when working on a subsequent task. The other reason is a real bug was introduced. This case seems it's a bug.

In your code, I noticed that the format() is inside the quotation marks. You have:

def multiply(num1=5,num2=5):
  return '{} * {} = {}.format(num1, num2, num1*num2)'

verses:

def multiply(num1=5,num2=5):
  return '{} * {} = {}'.format(num1, num2, num1*num2) # <-- moved closing quote

When you do a code challenge you need to leave all previous code that you have written, If the instructions say anything about changing code you write, then the new code goes below the original code. Hope that answers your question!

Thanks Caleb, I've solved the problem.

from flask import Flask

app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route('/multiply')
@app.route('/multiply/<num1>/<num2>')
@app.route('/multiply/<int:num1>/<int:num2>')
@app.route('/multiply/<float:num1>/<float:num2>')
@app.route('/multiply/<int:num1>/<float:num2>')
@app.route('/multiply/<float:num1>/<int:num2>')

def multiply(num1=5, num2=5):
    return '{}'.format(num1*num2)
    return str(num1*num2)

This worked for me
