Hi,

You don't need to copy and paste your code (app routes and functions) multiple times.

This code will get you through all the tasks:

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(num1 * num2)
