It looks like you just have to simplify things a little bit. All you need to do here is return the result of the square. You can specify a parameter like "3" when you call the function later. Here the teacher is just looking for the definition of the calculation. Your code should look something like this:
def square(number) :
result = number * number
return result
In the second part, you can specify your parameter. Below the above code, simply write this:
result = square(3)
Cheers!
