I keep doing what it tells me to do, and every time I do, it changes what i need to do. so I do that and it tells me to do the first task all over again,
function returnValue(hi) {
var echo = hi
return echo
returnValue(hi)
}

11,259 PointsTask 1: !! DON'T FORGET SEMI COLONS ; IT THROWS ERROR !!
function returnValue(anyThing) {
return anyThing;
}
Task 2: !! CREAT THE NEW VARIABLE OUT FROM YOUR FUNCTION !!
function returnValue(anyThing) {
return anyThing;
}
var echo = returnValue("anyOtherThing"); // USE PARANTHIES BEACUSE AT NOW YOU PASS A STRING TO THE FUNCTION AND NOT A REFERENCE/VARIABLE!
By the way in Your code, You do a recursive function, wich loops forever :)
Have a nice day, Bye!
