The link button leads to a quiz with 5 questions. Is there a particular one you're having trouble with?

Yes the one on how to return the function for both questions.

Returning a value from a function involves placing the value (a variable name or an expression) after the keyword "return".

You may want to review the Getting Information from a Function video.

When you say "doing the return value", what exactly are you putting in the blank?

And did you say two questions? I only see one about returning. Perhaps you should quote the whole question(s) also.

Your first answer looks like the correct response to the question I was talking about.

But I think you have misunderstood the other question. The only other question with a fill-in blank is not about returning anything, but it asks you to write the code to call a function.

Yes I am trying to do that second part but i am having trouble with calling the function.

to call a function, you write the function name followed by parentheses: "somefunction()"
