Hi, I'm taking this course "Developing AI Applications with Python and Flask" on Coursera. On this practice "Hands-on Lab: Building and Deploying a Web App using Flask App", I followed the instruction to build Maths folder, made mathematics.py and wrote the code for the endpoints on server.py.
However, I found the code in mywebscript.js actually already handle the calculation itself. In the current setup, the JavaScript functions (runAddition, runSubtraction, and runMultiplication) are performing the calculations directly in the browser and are not calling the Flask API endpoints which will be defined (/sum, /sub, and /mul) in students' practices later.
To make the client side (HTML + JavaScript) actually call these Flask endpoints, I modified mywebscript.js to make HTTP requests to the server, which will then perform the calculations using the functions from the mathematics module which will be done by students on this course later.
