5,720 PointsFlask's Shady Multiplication
So in task 2 of flask_app.py challenge, I wrote a url-input multiplier. it multiplies things in the regular way I would expect things to be multiplied.
But I get back an error message:
Bummer! Didn't get 200 at '/multiply/10/10'
which equates to Bummer, 10x10 isn't 200.
Well, I don't know how to make 10x10 equal 200 (though I tried some sneaky ways to return 200, but they did not work).
anyway I am not one to blame the software for my mistakes. but like. 10x10=200...?
from flask import Flask
app = Flask(__name__)
@app.route('/multiply')
@app.route('/multiply/<a>/<b>')
def multiply(a=5, b=5):
return "{}".format(a*b)

I think the 200 is referring to the http status code 200 OK.
In this case, you went a little too far with the instructions. You weren't supposed to change the return value to use the arguments. That will come later. The response for now should still be 5 * 5.
Right now, your arguments are still strings so at the route /multiply/10/10 you're trying to do "10" * "10" which will lead to an error.
