my function is not storing.

Im asked to work on line 3. Then to create a function named result and pass through the function so it can be stored.

What I wrote I thought suffices but its saying that its not being stored. Im not getting it or how this is possible?

squaring.py 
def square(number):
    return number * number 

result = square(25)

The instructions say, " Under the function definition, call your new function and pass it the argument 3."

But it looks like you're passing it "25" instead.
