231,268 PointsAs Abdi suggested, creating a variable is just a matter of making an assignment using the function as the source.
And for Abdi (or anyone not already aware), when posting code, use the instructions for code formatting in the Markdown Cheatsheet pop-up below the "Add an Answer" area. Or watch this video on code formatting.

this is how you would do that. You simply create a variable. Since the square function returns a square of
whatever number, the result variable will hold the square of 3 in this case.
