I think this follows the guidelines, but I am still getting an error

function returnValue (length, width) { return length * width; }

returnValue(5, 4);

script.js 
function returnValue (length, width) {
  return length * width;
}

returnValue(5, 4);

The task asks you to create a function named returnValue that accepts a single argument. You have two parameters.
