Should i do something like this? return (5,9)? or am i wrong? :scream:

No, your function is missing a return

local kata = {}

function kata.multiply(a, b)
    return a * b
end

return kata

You should assign your product to a variable.

local kata = {}

function kata.multiply(a, b)
   local product = a * b
   return product
end

return kata

In this case, product is a variable that is storing the value of a * b. This should work better for you.

Please do some research before posting questions, this question is extremely basic and could’ve been solved if you googled a little bit.

And when posting your code it’s preferred if you copy-paste it in text with formatting rather than images
```lua
print(“Hello World!”)
```
Will format to

print("Hello World!")
