Whats wrong?

Add a new property to the Rectangle class named area. It should calculate and return the area of the Rectangle instance (w * l).

rectangle.py 
class Rectangle:
    def __init__(self, w, l):
        self.w = w
        self.l = l
    def area(self):
        return self.w*self.l

So very close. When adding a property be sure to include the @property decorator above the method.
