How do work out this?
After your newly created returnValue function, create a new variable named echo. Set the value of echo to be the results from calling the returnValue function. When you call the returnValue function, make sure to pass in any string you'd like for the parameter.
function returnValue(number) {
var echo = "number";
returnvalue();
}

Just kidding, but someone had almost the exact same issue less than 15 minutes ago.
