I am lost on this problem

I am not sure what exactly it's telling me to do and I've been looking over the code for a while

script.js 
function returnValue(valueReturned) {
  return valueReturned;
  var echo = valueReturned;
}
returnValue('hello');
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
  <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
  <title>JavaScript Basics</title>
</head>
<body>
<script src="script.js"></script>
</body>
</html>

Your code passes for me, try resetting the challenge and then copy and paste this code into your JS file.

function returnValue(valueReturned) {
  return valueReturned;
  var echo = valueReturned;
}
returnValue('hello');
