Sass Functions Code Challenge - where am I going wrong?

I'm having a little trouble with the final code challenge on Sass Functions.

I've written the code according to my understanding of the lesson and the documentation. When I check the code, it says ' Bummer! The function should return the value '$input * 2'.'

Where am I going wrong? I honestly don't understand where I've made a mistake.

style.scss 
/* Write your SCSS code below. */
@function double($input) {
  @return ($input * 2); 
}

Edit: I've tried this function out in my own Sass file and it compiles correctly. Is it an error with the challenge?

Looks like you have a logical answer, but the Treehouse compiler isn't anticipating parentheses within the function.

  @return $input * 2;
