Add a new route to multiply() that has two arguments. Add the same two arguments to the multiply() view. They should have defaults of 5.
I'm not sure what is the BUG in this code

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