It's also a good idea to include a Meaningful title to the post and include a question. Just posting code with no question, reference, or problem stated makes helping troubleshoot quite difficult.

As I pointed out above, you didn't state what problems you are having, so this is complete a guess on the issues.
Looking at your code, you have what is needed to pass the first task, but you have way more code than what is asked for in the second task. The second task does not ask for a print statement, so both of them should be deleted. You have the variable asked for (result), but the instruction say to assign the resulting function call with an argument of 3 passed in. You are calling the function but passing in the string "number".

Just fix those few things up and you should be good to go.

If this doesn't solve your problem, you'll need to post the question again with your code, but include the issues you feel you are struggling on, so the Community can best assist you.
