function returnValue (hours){ var echo = "I work " + hours + " a week"; return echo; } returnValue ("50h");
Why is this code not working?!

It looks like the challenge wants you to return the parameter of the function. Your parameter in this case is hours, so it'd look like this:
function returnValue (hours) { var echo = "I work " + hours + " a week"; return hours; }
Hope that helps! :)

12,056 PointsInteresting...I ran it in the console in Chrome. It worked if I entered the value as a string as you have done here. It didn't work when I ran returnValue(50h); with no quotes. I'm wondering if this is the problem? If you put it without quotes the interpreter will be looking for a variable named 50h which would be invalid as variables can't begin with numbers in JavaScript.
