Hi Dawit, you don`t need to use any attributes for this challenge.

  • Your function declaration is correct.
  • For the second challenge, you should create a result variable and pass it the method square with the argument 3 as its parameter.
  • 3 will be squared and the multiplication product is stored in the variable result.

You don't need the last line of your code and don't forget to pass the required argument to your method call.

Does it make sense?
