65,469 PointsThe question is asking you to multiply a * b and assign it to a variable called product. Try this out:
a = 6
b = 2
# Multiply a*b and assign it to product.
product = a * b
NOTE: Don't get confused with the
# Multiply a*b and assign it to product.
line of code. I was just leaving a comment (basically a message. You'll learn all about comments soon in your course!). You can totally delete that line, or just include it in the code challenge. Ruby just ignores that line because it starts with a # (which, makes a comment).
I hope that works out!
