Really stuck with Part 2 of the code challenge:

Great now that you have created your new square method, let's put it to use.

Under the function definition, call your new function and pass it the argument 3.

Since your square function returns a value, create a new variable named result to store the value from the function call.

Did you ask this from the help in the challenge? I think if you do it links the challenge, I need a bit more context :).

Sounds like you need to call the function after you've defined it and store it in a variable, similar to a = foo_function(3)

Following the explicit instructions shown here, you should have a line line this added after the function:

result = square(3)
