I'm suppose to create new var named echo and store the value of the results of returnValue. Then call the return value with a string of my choosing. It is telling me that I'm storing the returnValue in echo. I thought that's what I'm suppose to do. I'm not sure what it's asking for or what it is suppose to do.
function returnValue(length) {
return length;
}
var echo = (returnValue);
returnValue('read');

Henrik Christensen

function returnValue(length) {
return length;
}
// var echo = your-function-name-here(value-of-argument-here);
That's all you need to do.

6,234 PointsThanks Agnes that worked. I was over thinking it, and adding more lines of code than needed.
