var echo = returnValue('something');

9,699 PointsSorry, I didn't paste in the instructions. This is my first time trying out the "help" in Treehouse:
Now that you've created the returnValue function, call it, by passing it a literal string value -- a series of characters in quote marks like this: 'My argument'. Store the results of the function in a variable named echo.
