What's the problem with my answer???
from flask import Flask
app = Flask(__name__)
@app.route("/multiply/<int:num1>/<int:num2>")
def multiply(num1=5, num2=5):
return "{} + {} = {}".format(num1, num2, num1 * num2)

I am not sure which task of the challenge you are stuck at but...
The first thing I noticed is that you did not add a route, you only edited the one route you have declared.
It should look something like this:
@app.route("/multiply")
@app.route("/multiply/<int:num1>/<int:num2>")
def multiply():
....
From here you can also move on and adjust that last line (the return line). I think what you provided is overcomplicated, in the end we only need to return a product of 2 ints in the form of a string.
Let me know if still stuck ;)

6,035 PointsIt's still refusing. May you please give me your solution? I'm supposed to return the result of 5 * 5

33,371 PointsProbably something like
return str(5*5)could work.
This is because we need to return a string.
