this is the question:

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.

You have a typo in the second route. You flipped the l and t in multiply. Fix that and you should be good to go.

Hi all, I am struggling with that same challenge that is: "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."

Can someone tell me why I get the error message: "Didn't get a 200 at /multiply/10/10".

This is my code:

from flask import Flask

app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route('/multiply')
@app.route('/multiply/(int:arg1)/(int:arg2)')

def multiply(arg1 = 5, arg2 = 5):
  return str(arg1*arg2)

You'll want angle brackets instead of parentheses for your route arguments:

@app.route('/multiply/<int:arg1>/<int:arg2>')
