Hey, Community!
I'm early in the tutorial working on the squaring.py exercise, but it keeps failing. I can plug my code into Workspaces and it works, but I'm wondering what the exercise is looking for that I'm falling short of. Here is my code - any advice is appreciated!:
import math
def square(number): return (number) number = float(input("Enter a number: ")) square = (number * number)
print("The square of {} = {}".format(number, square))

Also it is best to post your questions directly on the problem you were working on, so that we can actually see what you are trying to solve.
Due to the formatting, I can only guess at what you are doing, but one thing I noticed is that square seems to be both a function and a variable. In this case, it should probably be a function only, just for simplicity.
If you are still lost, please post again, but this time use the Markdown cheatsheet to see how post your code so that we can read it.
