what wrong with my code?

And that is the question:

After your newly created returnValue function, create a new variable named echo. Set the value of echo to be the results from calling the returnValue function. When you call the returnValue function, make sure to pass in any string you'd like for the parameter.

I would appreciate your help, thanks a lot.

script.js 
function returnValue (man){
  var echo = man;
  return echo;
}
returnValue(young);
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
  <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">

<script src="script.js"></script>

Hi Eddie

The 2nd task wanted you to create the variable echo after the function.:

function returnValue(man){
  return man;
}
var echo = returnValue('Bob');
