Can someone explain to me why am I getting this type of error on the compiler in the coding quiz after the video? I used other IDE and my code there seems working but here in the compiler in coding quiz keeps appearing.
def square(number): return number * number
numberOfUser = int(input("Enter a number: ")) result = square(numberOfUser) print(result)
this is the code that I already build based on the instruction given by the challenge. Thanks for help>

You didn't link to the challenge, but I'm pretty sure that the challenge doesn't ask you to input anything, which would explain that error. If I recall correctly, the challenge asks you to call the function with a particular argument and store the result in a variable, so you also wouldn't print anything.
For future questions, you might want to take a look at these videos about Posting a Question, and using Markdown formatting to preserve the code's appearance.
