Sass Functions Challenge - Task 1

I cannot seem to find my errors and have thus far failed to identify or correct them. My code for the .scss page is as follows:

@function double($input) { @return($input * 2); }

I have tried many variations on this code and have a feeling I am missing something quite small. Any help would be awesome.

Only on a phone so I can't have a deep look into this but have you tried return without the @? Or make sure the $input variable is declared within the function. Never really used functions in Sass so I may be wrong.
