Create a function named square. It should define a single parameter named number.
In the body of the function return the square of the value passed in.
(A square is the value multiplied by itself. eg: The square of 5 is 25. 25 = 5 x 5)
def square(number):
value=5*5
return value

Python Web Development Techdegree Student 11,501 PointsYou need to put number in the place where you have 5. The ultimate goal of the function is to take an argument(number) and times it by itself to get its square. Number just represents different possible numbers that could be placed in the function. Hope this helps.
def square(number): value=number * number return value
