Treehouse ModeratorHi Victor A Hernandez Your code looks great, however, to find the square of a number, you multiply a number by itself. So you would want
return number * number
Nicely done!!

8,531 PointsHie Victor A Hernandez. Your code is okay but for a square of a number the number multiplies itself. this code worked for me:
def square(number): return number*number
