Hi, Dargis,

you didn't quite follow the instructions.

You were asked to write a function that accepts one argument and returns it immediately. Like this:

    function returnValue(value){
        return value;
    }

In the next task you were asked to set a new variable echo and set a value to echo by using the returnValue() function. Like this:

       var echo=returnValue("wild string");
       document.write(echo);
