So I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Can you not use default parameters in Flask? I tried putting the numbers directly into the route path but that didn't work either. TIA
from flask import Flask
app = Flask(__name__)
@app.route('/multiply/<int:num1>/<int:num2>')
def multiply(num1=5, num2=5):
return str(num1 * num2)
#return '{} * {} = {}'.format(num1, num2, num1 * num2)

19,662 PointsYou need to retain the route for multiply as well as with input.
@app.route('/multiply')
@app.route('/multiply/<int:num1>/<int:num2>')
