1,167 PointsOh no! I felt good about my progress, but now I'm stuck. I have no idea if I'm any close on this one at all.
So I'm to actually square an integer, but I'm quite confused on how to do it. I am following directions in according to how I am understanding this, but it's quite clear I am not actually following at all and I could be way off on this.
def square(number):
print(square.number(5))

1,167 PointsSo you do this to get people to give you "Best Answer"? lol!

5,094 PointsThe incentive of learning a little more about a subject by helping, coupled with a little gold star. The second incentive increases the chances of help being given. Feels good to get cake, no?
Sean Frye
1,167 PointsUm. Huh. Well, I didn't know that being given "Best Answer" helps make it so you can give help more frequently. That is unless I completely misunderstood what you just said. lol!

1,167 PointsThank you for your reply. I just looked up this task on Google and found the original Teamtreehouse help question asked for this and figured it out. I was most definitely way off on this one. Thanks though anyways. Sorry if I wasted your time.
