Making your apps more friendly and adaptable is a great idea. How did you do on the challenge of adding more routes to your view? Here's my solution!

Adding multiple routes to a single view is a great way to allow the route's arguments to fit within some constraints, but still be real world.

    Well, did you do it? 0:00
    Let's look at how I solved the problem of catching both types of numbers. 0:01
    All right, so just to remind you, if we try going to our thing and 0:04
    we have something that's not, not an imager, 0:10
    then it errors because it can't convert that into a number. 0:14
    But let's see about turning this into something that takes ints, 0:18
    floats, you know, either one of those. 0:21
    Okay. 0:24
    So, what do we have? 0:25
    Well, first of all, 0:26
    we have this app route where we have ints and, you know, they're both ints. 0:27
    So, let's let's duplicate this and let's make them both floats. 0:31
    All right, and 0:38
    then our other option would be that number one is an int and number two's a float. 0:39
    Or that number one is a float and number two is an int, right? 0:45
    So we have int int, float float, int float, and a float int. 0:49
    Let's let's give these a test. 0:53
    All right. So first of all, let's do 2.5 plus 5. 0:54
    7.5, great. 0:58
    2.5 plus 5.5. 1:01
    8.0, great. 1:03
    [BLANK_AUDIO] 1:05
    And there we go. 1:08
    All right, so, and 1:10
    let's just, let's make sure that it still works with just two ints, and it does. 1:11
    All right, four routes on one view. 1:16
    That's kind of crazy, but that should cover everything. 1:18
    Creating routes for your views is a major part of working with basic Flask, but 1:22
    there's actually a whole lot more that we can do with this framework. 1:26
    In our next stage, 1:29
    we'll take a look at rendering templates and serving static files. 1:29
