You have to create just one function returnValue, and that function should have just one parameter which you named “hello”. After that function create a variable named echo and as a value just call returnValue function.

 // Create a function named returnValue 

   function returnValue(hello){
          //return hello value
           return hello;

  var echo = returnValue(‘Hello World’);  // now this variable store “Hello World”
