What is wrong with my code?
from flask import Flask
app = Flask(name)
@app.route('/multiply/5/5/') def multiply(num1, num2): return '{} * {} = {}'.format(num1, num2, num1 * num2)
from flask import Flask
app = Flask(__name__)
@app.route('/multiply/5/5/')
def multiply(num1, num2):
return '{} * {} = {}'.format(num1, num2, num1 * num2)

40,533 PointsYou'll want to have a new route expecting two variables rather than them being hard coded in.
You can do that like this:
@app.route("/multiply")
@app.route("/multiply/<num1>/<num2>")
def multiply(num1=5, num2=5):
#Not updated until later in the challenge.
return str(5 * 5)

78,399 PointsI believe what Kenneth is saying is that this code will get you through up to Challenge 4 of 5:
from flask import Flask
app = Flask(__name__)
@app.route("/multiply")
@app.route("/multiply/<int:num1>/<int:num2>")
@app.route("/multiply/<float:num1>/<float:num2>")
@app.route("/multiply/<int:num1>/<float:num2>")
@app.route("/multiply/<float:num1>/<int:num2>")
def multiply(num1=5, num2=5):
#Not updated until later in the challenge.
return str(5 * 5)
However, then for Challenge 5 of 5 the return has to updated:
from flask import Flask
app = Flask(__name__)
@app.route("/multiply")
@app.route("/multiply/<int:num1>/<int:num2>")
@app.route("/multiply/<float:num1>/<float:num2>")
@app.route("/multiply/<int:num1>/<float:num2>")
@app.route("/multiply/<float:num1>/<int:num2>")
def multiply(num1=5, num2=5):
return str(num1 * num2)

app = Flask(name)
@app.route('/') @app.route('/multiply')
def multiply(): return str(5*5)

from flask import Flask
from flask import request
app = Flask (__name__)
@app.route('/')
def index (name="Treehouse"):
name = request.args.get('name',name)
return "Hello from {}".format (name)
app.run(debug=True, port=8000,host='0.0.0.0')
Kenneth Love
Treehouse Guest TeacherTake out the app.run(). Someone else reported to me that that caused challenges to time out.
Kenneth Love
Treehouse Guest TeacherWell, you also didn't create a route at /multiply like the instructions tell you to:
Add a view named
multiply. Givemultiplya route named/multiply. Makemultiply()return the product of5 * 5. Remember, views have to return strings.

from flask import Flask
from flask import request
app=flask(__name__)
@app.route('1')
def index (name="Treehouse"):
return"Hello from {}". format(name)
name=request,args.get(name,name)
app,run(debug=True,port=8,000,host='0.0.0.0'
Kenneth Love
Treehouse Guest TeacherSo, a few problems.
- You want to use the
Flaskclass that you imported for yourappvariable.app = Flask(__name__) - Your route should start with a
/ - You have a lot of spacing issues. Don't put spaces before or after dots, before or after parentheses, and don't leave spaces out after keywords like
return. - You won't want to have your
returnbefore you do variable assignment and you'll want the variable assignment (the line starting withname=) to be indented inside your function. - You want
app.runnotapp,run. - You don't need a comma inside
8000when it's the number.
