Post back if you need more help. Good luck!!

Therefore when you call the function you should be using multiple arguments like multiply (4, 25, 7). If you think about what you will be sending in through *args is then multiple values which then obligates you to the use of a loop to handle the object you sent in (a list). List functions will be helpful to get a number from the list for multipication and working with the ongoing total.
