Hi,

first the challenge is asking you to create a function that return the value stored inside:

script.js
function returnValue(anything) {
  return anything;
}

then outside the function, create a variable named "echo", store inside the function and pass a string as value in the function:

script.js
function returnValue(anything) {
  return anything;
}

var echo = returnValue("anything");

Worked Beautifully, Thanks Gianmarco!
