5,452 PointsJavaScript Function variable not being stored
I been trying to solve this function problem forever. I have re-watched the video, tried moving information back and forth. I'm frustrated. I keep getting "Hmmm. It doesn't look like you're storing the returned value in the echo variable.", if that. I don't know what else to do, I've tried other variants of the code to no avail.
function returnValue (drink) {
var echo = drink;
return echo;
}
returnValue('Water');

In step 2 it wants the var echo declared after (outside of) the function. Like so:
function returnValue(drink) {
return drink;
}
var echo = returnValue("Water");
