What am I missing? it works in works space. I found this challenge extremely difficult to crack, it took me about 3 hrs
import math
def square (number):
return math.ceil(number * number)
number = int(input("Please enter number")
end_result = square(number)
print(" The sum is {}.".format(end_result))

Courses Plus Student 1,453 PointsI guess i have trouble understanding the question and to see what it is asking me, i done too much for this task.

def square (number):
return (number * number)

Courses Plus Student 1,453 PointsI am aware that """number = int(input("Please enter number")""" is missing a closing perin at the end as it an "int" in it
