Courses Plus Student 402 PointsMy code isn't working for a challenge although I can't see what's wrong
The challenge task goes as follows: 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)
My code goes as follows : def square (number) return (number * number)
def square (number)
return (number * number)

Treehouse TeacherHi there! You're doing terrific and you're off by one character. There should be a colon at the end of the first line.
def my_func(arg): #note the colon at the end
Hope this helps!
