Add a view named multiply. Give multiply a route named /multiply. Make multiply() return the product of 5 * 5. Remember,

I can't get this right and I don't know why

Help would be apricated

flask_app.py 
from flask import Flask

app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route('/multiply/<int:num1>/<int:num2>')
def multiply(num1,num2):

  return '{} * {} = {}'.format(num1, num2, num1*num2)

Hi Nicholas,

You don't need to take anything from the url, only that when someone gets to '/multiply' they should see 25. Like this:

from flask import Flask

app = Flask(__name__)


@app.route('/multiply')
def multiply():
  return str(5*5)
