Modify the returnValue function to accept one argument named value.

script.js 
function returnValue(Value) {
  return Value;
}

var echo =returnValue("value")
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
  <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">

The bummer message for task 2 states The function declaration doesn't have an argument named 'value'

This is because you have used an uppercase V in value. Change it to lowercase.
