multiply

I'm getting the Bummer! try again! error I think the code works for args as int but not str. the challenge specifically states that any type of args will do. Not sure how to get the product of str?

twoples.py 
def mul(*nums):
    product = 1
    for num in nums:
        product *= num
    return product

Hi!

If you look at the error it says could not find "multiply". You named your function mul. How it is now:

def mul(*nums):
    product = 1
    for num in nums:
        product *= num
    return product

How it should be:

def multiply(*nums):
    product = 1
    for num in nums:
        product *= num
    return product

Hope this helps!

Thanks!
