def square(number):
return (number * number)
square_number = int(input("What number do you want to square? "))
squared_number = square(square_number)
result = squared_number
print(result)

6,234 PointsI got through task 1 with just 2 or 3 lines of code. I'm getting errors on task 2.

3,484 Pointsfor task 2, you only need one line of code, there is no need to print a result or ask for an input, all you need to do is CALL the function, PASS IN the number 3, and ASSIGN the result to the variable 'result' all which can be done in one line of code.

6,234 PointsThanks for making me think about it. Also I was confused about the 3 until you explained that I needed to pass the number 3 to the square function. The tip about only needing 1 more line of code was what made me start thinking. Thank you!
