Function Should Return Input * 2

I'm getting an error message in this particular challenge that states the following:

Bummer! The function should return the value '$input * 2'.

Here's what I tried:

@function double($input) {
  @return ($input * 2)

  }

and 

@function double($input) {
  @return unquote($input * 2)

  }

@function double($input) {
  @return ($input * 2);

  }

Any help is much appreciated.

Hey man, because its basically doing math and returning it. You don't have to use parenthesis or semi colon to terminate the line. Just type it out and it will pass. It should look like this:

@function double($input){
     @return $input * 2
}

Hope that helps. Take care
