Make sure you call the square function, and pass it 3

AssertionError: != 9 : Make sure you store the return value from the function in a variable named result

squaring.py 
def square(number):
    square = number * number
    return square
def result(square):
    return (square(3))
    result = square
    return result
print(result)

Storing the result of a function in a variable is like any other variable assignment. The variable goes on the left, followed by the assignment operator, then the function call. The following passes myargument to myfunction and stores the result in a variable named a

a = myfunction(myargument)
