The challenge asks you to do two things;

1st) You have to create a function named square which takes one parameter;

def square(number):

2nd) The challenge wants you to take the "number" parameter, multiply it with itself and return the value;

def square(number):
    return number * number

Any number that multiplies with itself is called "square" of a number, and that is exactly what the challenge wants you to do, multiply the number by itself. That's it, If you still have some issues let me know.

Here's a few hints:

the name of the function is "square", you don't want to return this
the parameter is "number", you should return this multiplied by itself
you won't need to include "math" for this
for task 1 you won't need to "input" or "print" anything, just define the function
