The variable will be like "var echo", and it will be assigned the code for running the function like so:
function returnValue(argument){
return argument;
}
var echo = returnValue("My argument");
The value in the variable echo will be "My argument" since that is what was passed in the function and returned back.

10,616 Points'''javascript w that you've created the returnValue function, call it, by passing it a literal string value -- a series of characters in quote marks like this: 'My argument'. Store the results of the function in a variable named echo.
Bummer! Hmmm. It doesn't look like you're storing the returned value in the
echovariable.function returnValue( upper ){
return upper;
}
returnValue('My argument'); var echo = returnValue;
