I am confused on how to solve Task 2. Please can someone explain what is happening.

I have tried to answer Task 2, and I am getting confused. Please can someone explain (without giving me the answer) what is happening. So it helps me to try and answer Task 2.

script.js 
function returnValue(test) {
  return test
  var echo = echo(myTest);
}

returnValue(test);
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE HTML>

Create variable echo after your newly created returnValue function

Your code has some other problems, too. Just read the instructions very carefully. All the answers are there.

The other problems are passing an undefined variable as on argument and your last row is just not needed as per instructions.

Hope this helps :)
