I don't get it

I don't know what to do, which argument do I return because it keep saying, "Oops! It looks like Task 1 is no longer passing.". please explain to me what do I need to add?

script.js 
function returnValue(value, echo,) {
  return value * echo ;
  var echo = returnValue('hello')
}
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
  <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
  <title>JavaScript Basics</title>
</head>
<body>
<script src="script.js"></script>
</body>
</html>

Just move the last line out of your function when you're actually calling it:

function returnValue(value) {
  return value;
} 

var echo = returnValue("hello");
