function returnValue( echo) { return echo; } var echo = returnValue ('My argument');

That works for me.

Hey man! You are supposed to create a variable called "echo" and set it equal to your new function returnValue(a)...and you should pass any parameter to the function, that means putting any string instead of your "a" argument.

Cheers!
