Hi Luis , You are doing Great :)

Your code works but Treehouse Grader want you to store in variable name result

Since your square function returns a value, create a new variable named result to store the value from the function call.

 def square(number):
    result = (number * number)
    return(result)
result = square(3)

Thanks

The new variable to store square(3) is result not results. Make that change and you should pass.
