Python Flask Basics Welcome to Flask Multiply View

task 1 in not passing

i dont know how to do this

flask_app.py
from flask import Flask

app = Flask(__name__)
@app.route('/multiply/')
@app.route('/multiply/<int:num1>/<int:num2>')
def multiply(num1,num2) :
           return str(5*5)

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

Just remove the backslash from the first route and give the args defaults. That should get you past step two.

from flask import Flask

app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route('/multiply')  # No backslash at the end of this route
@app.route('/multiply/<int:num1>/<int:num2>')
def multiply(num1=5, num2=5):  # Add arg defaults here
    return str(5 * 5)

thank you :)
