Challenge Square

Square challenge: It keeps giving me an EOFError(in line 8). In workspace it runs great and gives me the result though?!

squaring.py 
import math


def square(number):
    return math.sqrt (number)


number = float(input("What is the number?    "))
square_root = number * number

print("The square root is {}".format(square_root))

The challenge checker cannot respond to the input command in your code when it tests the code. Please remove the input and print statements.

Also, the checker will block use of the math module for this challenge. Please solve without using math.sqrt

Post back if you need more help. Good luck!!!
