Hiya Gilda! your code is infact right on point. The challenge merely wants you to mention the syntax for creating a function or method. I know its silly but always stick to the challenge and try to avoid doing additional stuff or it'll throw an error. Here is the code in case you get confused again: 

def subtract(a, b); end
def multiply(a, b); end
