I'm not sure why this isn't working. Can someone please help me understand so I can fix it and move on to the next video?
def product(num1, num2)
return int(num1) * int(num2)
product('2', '4')

Secondly, you dont actually have to use the int() function, try never to do something unless you were explicitly told to do so.
Hope this helps!
