Totally lost here. Someone come to the rescue. My code works locally though!

twoples.py 
def multiply(*nums):
    product = 0
    for num in nums:
        product = num * num
    return product

Your code is close. It returns the square of the last iterable item.

print(multiply(2,3,4)) returns 16 instead of 24.

  • Change sum * sum to product * sum
  • initialize product to 1
