Not sure why this is not a function

script.js 
function returnValue(s){
  return a;
}
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
  <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">

You're asked to: Create a function named returnValue that accepts a single argument (you can name it anything), then immediately returns that argument.

So you need to return "s" if that is the argument you pass in.
