446 PointsChallenge 2 is my code too simple?
Hello everyone, i have recently just sat through challenge 2 of python. i struggled with this for quite some time and did a lot of googling until i eventually passed the challenge. However looking back on other students answers for this challenge mine seems a little too simple.
def square(number):
return number * number
square(3)
result = square(3)
print(result)
Am i on the right path here or was i way off?

You can be even more simple because for the purposes of the challenge, you only need to define the function, you don't need to call it or to print anything.
