741 PointsHaving trouble returning an argument that's passed through the function
I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong with this problem. I can't figure out why I cannot get the return command to work, help please!
function returnValue(bing, ding, dong) {
var echo = bing + ding;
return echo + dong;
}

function returnValue(bing) {
return bing;
}

741 PointsYes, I've gotten that far and then gotten stumped on the second prompt.
Thanks!

741 PointsMy mistake, I thought the prompt also posted. This is the prompt:
"After your newly created returnValue function, create a new variable named echo. Set the value of echo to be the results from calling the returnValue function. When you call the returnValue function, make sure to pass in any string you'd like for the parameter."
And here's my error code:
"Make sure you return the argument that's passed into the function. In other words type
return, a space, and the parameter name."Thanks!
