Python Flask Basics Welcome to Flask Multiply View

Didn't get a 200 at /multiply - What does it means?

I'm working on the "multiply" challange.

I entered the following code:

from flask import Flask

app = Flask(name)

@app.route('/multiply') @app.route('/multiply/<int:num1>/<int:num2>') def multiply(num1, num2): return "{} * {} = {}".format(num1, num2, num1 * num2)

which is correctly executed in the workspace, and also passing the check with flake8.

Nevertheless I get the error "Bummer! Didn't get a 200 at /multiply" and I can not go on with challenge.

what is wrong?

flask_app.py 
from flask import Flask

app = Flask(__name__)


@app.route('/multiply')
@app.route('/multiply/<int:num1>/<int:num2>')
def multiply(num1=5, nmm2=5):
    return "{} * {} = {}".format(num1, num2, num1 * num2)

The 200 is an HTML status code that says the URL returned a valid response. This is different from an incorrect response.

You have a typo in you parameter name nmm
