I am not sure where i have gone wrong in Python with this function test to square an inputed number. Seems simple enough

def square(number): square = number*number return square print (square(number)) number = int(input("what is the number to be squared"))

If I remember the challenge correctly (a link to it would be helpful next time), it doesn't require you to print or input anything. I believe your task is only to define the function.

If you remove those extra parts (and don't have any indentation issues) you should pass.

And to display your code so the indentation shows, format it with the info in the Markdown Cheatsheet pop-up below the "Add an Answer" area. :arrow_heading_down:   Or for more detailed instructions, you can watch this video on code formatting.
