JavaScript JavaScript Basics (Retired) Creating Reusable Code with Functions Passing an Argument to a Function

I'm doing exactly what it says...

"Hmmm. It doesn't look like you're storing the returned value in the echo variable."

I'm storing it literally right under the 'echo' variable, though...

script.js 
function returnValue(Corinthiax) {
  return Corinthiax;
  var echo
  returnValue('Corinthiax' + 'Thelema');
}
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE HTML>

The challenge wants you to assign the results of the returnValue function to a variable named "echo"

var echo = returnValue('Corinthiax' + 'Thelema');

note: this should be called outside the function

Ah. I wasn't putting it outside the function. Thank you, Kris!
