21,422 PointsThe code challenges are pretty picky, so first off I would suggest getting rid of the 2 print statements, and then take a closer look at your result variable that is to hold the value of the result of calling the square function. Make sure you use the correct function name (what you used to define the function) when you call the function. If you defined the function name as square, use the name square when calling the function- repeat_square is not defined in the code above. I hope this helps.

Python Development Techdegree Student 786 PointsHi all, I'm having difficulty on this Code Challenge as well: "Under the function definition, call your new function and pass it the argument 3. Since your square function returns a value, create a new variable named result to store the value from the function call".
What is meant by passing it the argument 3? I'm also confused over the specific "value" to store from the function call square.
