Ruby Basics multiplication with arguments.

I input:

def multiply(a.b)

end

I get error oops it looks like task 1 is no longer passing. I am not sure why. Does anyone know why this error occurs because the input seems correct?

method.rb 
def multiply (a, b)

end

Hi there! Your code works for me if I copy/paste it in the challenge. However, it's important to note that you may not remove the previous subtract method that was defined. Here's a tip from the instructions in the challenge.

Important: In each task of this code challenge, the code you write should be added to the code from the previous task.

This means that you must leave the previous code intact (unless explicitly instructed otherwise) and proceed to the next part.

Hope this helps! :sparkles:
