Multiply - what am I doing wrong?

Program.cs(6,17): error CS0501: 'Program.Multiply(double, double)' must declare a body because it is not marked abstract

Program.cs
using System;

class Program
{

    static void Multiply(double first , double second);
    // YOUR CODE HERE: Define a method named Multiply. Remember
    // to use the "static" and "void" keywords: "static void
    // Multiply" (without quotes). Multiply should take two
    // "double" values as parameters.

    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        double total = Multiply (2.5 , 2);
            Console.Writeline (answer);
            double total = Multiply (6 , 7); 
        Console.Writeline (answer);
    }

}

The instructions say "Define a Multiply function that accepts two parameters, multiplies them together, and passes the result to Console.WriteLine."

You've defined the function, but you still need the code body (inside braces) that will do the multiply function and write out the result.

And since the function does the output, you won't need to do anything in Main but call it twice.
