square

Why doesn't this work in the module? I tried it and it works in workspaces. What am I doing wrong?

squaring.py
def square(number):
  return number*number

number = int(input("Give me a number to square. "))
final=square(number)

print("Your number squared is {}".format(final))

Never mind. I guess I just got ahead of myself. I tried it with just defining the function and returning and it worked.
