The examples are in the code you pasted above e.g squared(5) would return 25, they're just commented out ;)

in fact I meant, this: in the isntsructions to the challenge it says "If the argument cannot be turned into an integer (maybe it's a string of non-numbers?), return the argument multiplied by its length. Look in the file for examples." so question is which "files" are they referring to? Are there some learning documents, or reference files which I am not aware of, or are they just referring to previous tracks? thxs.
