really don't know what's wrong?

Create a function named apply that should take three arguments: a function and two arguments. apply should return the result of calling the function with the two arguments. Bummer! apply() takes 2 positional arguments but 3 were given Preview Get Help Recheck work functions.py

_yourjob 1 def apply(for_find_yourjob,for_text_yourjob): 2 print("Apply!") 3

4 print("log and run:") 5 log_and_run(apply) 6

7 print("log and return:") 8 hola=log_and_return(apply) 9 hola()

functions.py 
def apply(for_find_yourjob,for_text_yourjob):
    print("Apply!")

    print("log and run:")
    log_and_run(apply)

    print("log and return:")
    hola=log_and_return(apply)
    hola()

First I think you're over complicating it. Stick with easier arguments within the method. Also, remember its asking for a "return", not "print". That makes a difference.

Another thing to remember is that doing "print("Apply")" will not call your apply method. This will simply print out the string "Apply". To call a function you would do; apply().

def apply(fun, arg1, arg2):
  return fun(arg1, arg2)
