What is wrong in my Code!!!!

i tried my code on my local program and it works fine, but here say squared did not return the right value!!

squared.py 
def squared(x):
    try:
        return x * x
    except:
        return x * len(x)

Hi there,

Since the challenge is asking specifically to return the square if the values can be converted to int, you need to actually convert them in the try block - if you change that line to 

return int(x) * int(x)

it should work.
