product() isn't a function (not that am aware of anyway, but I'm no expert)

You can just use the * operand to multiply the inputs though, also no need to set the new var...

def product(a, b):
    return a * b

Just adding on to what samt has already said ... although you have defined a function product(), you haven't actually told it to do anything other than return a tuple with 7 and 8 in it - there are no instructions to multiply here.

By the way, when you are completing the challenges, you just need to write the code as per the instructions - the system will input the data (e.g., 7 and 8) needed to test the code is working correctly (i.e., in this case, multiplying the numbers together). Also, when the instructions say 'return', that's all you need to do - no need to print the result as well.

I know I've been caught out a few times by not paying enough attention to the specifics of the instructions!
