How am I not passing Task #1?

Task #1 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.

from flask import Flask 
app = Flask(__name__) 
@app.route("/multiply/") 
@app.route("/multiply/<int:num1>/<int:num2>") 
def multiply(num1=5, num2=5): 
    return "{}".format(num1*num2)

Try taking the "/" out after "/multiply" on your first route.

This code passed:

from flask import Flask

app = Flask(__name__)

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