    multi=1
    for i in args:
        multi=multi*i
    return (multi)


call=multiply(2,3)

You have the right idea. A couple of small things: no need to put () around multi. It's a number so you just need to return it. And I would call the variable something more accurate and clear, like product, instead of multi. Remember that coding is a form of communication -- make it easier for others to read and understand your code by using good variable names. This is important when you're working with others.
