def multiply(base, *args):
        total = base
        for num in args:
            total *= num

Code is correct, but issues in indentations so check for it and re-run. After function name with parameters provided we need to indent the body of the function with 4 white spaces. We choose 4 as a best practice.

def multiply(base, *args): total = base for num in args: total *= num return total
