2,097 PointsHelp! I can't figure out an answer of this question.
Direction: Set the variable product to be a multiple of the variables a and b.
I have tried every possible answer, but it doesn't seem to work. Please help me with this question?
a = 6
b = 2

product = a * b

2,097 PointsThank you, Samuel Webb! I didn't think of "product" = a * b before. I was trying a * b | b * a | 6 * 2 | 2 * 6 hahaha ... Once again, thank you very much :)

Quick question. Are you quoting product in your code too? No need for that. It's not a string, it's a variable and doesn't get quoted.

2,097 PointsNope, I didn't quote it in the exercise. I just wanted to emphasize the word "product" in here. It's a habit of a lit major student :)
