Python Flask Basics Welcome to Flask Multiply View

Change the response to multiply the two arguments and return their product.

I have no clue as to where to start... ive already tried the following:

from flask import Flask

app = Flask(name)

@app.route('/multiply') @app.route("/multiply/<num1>/<num2>") @app.route("/multiply/<int:num1>/<int:num2>") @app.route("/multiply/<float:num1>/<float:num2>") @app.route("/multiply/<float:num1>/<int:num2>") @app.route("/multiply/<int:num1>/<float:num2>")

def multiply(num1=5, num2=5): result = int(num1) * int(num2) return str(result) return '{} * {} = {}'.format(num1, num2, num1*num2)

It's not so complicated like you did it... Much easier, you just need to create a route(in this case "/multiply"), and then you simply create a function that multiplys 5*5 and it returns it as a string.

from flask import Flask

app = Flask(__name__)

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

or like this:

from flask import Flask

app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route("/multiply")
def multiply():
    product = 5 * 5
    return str(product)
