I don't understand this code.
def product (a,b):
answer = (a*b)
return "The product {} and {} is {}".format(a,b,answer)
a = 3
b = 4

The challenge says, "return
the result.", but your code is creating a string that describes what the math does and then returns that string.
So all you really need for the return line is:
return answer
And as Antonio pointed out, creating the "a" and "b" variables is not part of the challenge.
