protocol Math {
  func square(value: Double) -> Double
}

Hey Habib Miranda,

So we were given a protocol, Math, which contains a single method. This method is called square, takes a single argument of type Double, and returns a Double value.

The challenge wants us to use an extension on this protocol to create a default implementation for this method. We have to follow the conventions we set in the original protocol, meaning, this method has to have the same name and function signature.

In the body of the function, we will compute the square value of the value we pass in when calling this method.

protocol Math {
  func square(value: Double) -> Double
}

// Enter your code below

extension Math {
  func square(value: Double) -> Double {
    return value * value
  }
}

Good Luck
