Treehouse TeacherHi there! I really wish I knew what you'd tried that's failing so that I could better guide you in what you might be missing. Here is a solution and I'll walk you through it:
function returnValue(whatever) {
return whatever;
}
var echo = returnValue("Return this string please");
Here we declare our function returnValue as required by the challenge. The parameter can be named anything so I chose whatever. Then we immediately return what was sent in by using the return statement.
The second step requires that we declare a new variable named echo. This is also specified by the challenge and must go outside of the function. Otherwise the variable would only belong in the local scope. We then assign the result of passing a string (any string) into our returnValue function. The end result here is that the echo variable will now be set to the string "Return this string please".
Hope this helps!
