Stuck on challenge..

Add a new property to the Rectangle class named area. It should calculate and return the area of the Rectangle instance (width * length).

rectangle.py 
class Rectangle:
    def __init__(self, width, length):
        self.width = width
        self.length = length

        @property
    def area(self):
        return self.width*self.length

You have it right, just need to fix the indentation on the property decorator. It should be:

@property
def area(self):
...
