321 PointsSquare code challenge results problem
Hello, I don't know what I've done wrong here and would appreciate some advice. The code below works to ask a number, but then instead of responding with the answer it says "The square of 6 is <function square at 0x7fd687f63e18>. How do I get it to just multiply the number? Thanks!
def square(number): return (number * number)
number = (input("Please enter a number "))
print("The square of {} is {}".format(number, square))

print("The square of {} is {}".format(number, square(int(number))))
From what I remember however I don't think this meets the requirement for task 2 of the challenge.

321 PointsSo clearly this is not the right way to do it but I have no clue what a better way would be.
I can't get to the second part anyway b/c the code challenge page is giving me error messages for lines that don't exist.

54,967 PointsI found the challenge. Your first two lines of code should pass task 1.
def square(number):
return (number * number)
Remove any other code for now.
