Front End Web Development Techdegree Graduate 17,646 PointsStuck trying to figure out this "echo" return statement... thing?
I'm stuck on this part of the question:
"After your newly created returnValue function, create a new variable named echo. Set the value of echo to be the results from calling the returnValue function. When you call the returnValue function, make sure to pass in any string you'd like for the parameter."
I'm having the biggest brain fart... Can someone explain where the echo variable is supposed to go and why it should go there?
function returnValue(number){
var number = Math.floor(Math.random * 6) + 1;
return number
}
returnValue(){
}

var echo = The name of the function you created with any string you want passed as the argument.
so... if I did- var echo = returnValue("Hello World");
it would basically return "Hello World".
