Is this really it?

Question

Python basics, creating a function. I am not sure this is okay, even though the test results are okay. Did I manage to solve this task, really? Teacher's video lessons were much more complicated with code, this seems to be too simple. I'm sceptic.
Task:
Great now that you have created your new square method, let's put it to use.
Under the function definition, call your new function and pass it the argument 3.
Since your square function returns a value, create a new variable named result to store the value from the function call.
My solution:
def square(number):
    square = number * number
    return(square)
result = square(3)

That's really it — good job!  :+1:  The challenges are intended to reinforce the lessons and generally won't be terribly complex.
But do be prepared as you progress through the later courses, as they will become more difficult than this one!
And for future questions, make sure your code is properly formatted.  Take a look at these videos about Posting a Question (https://teamtreehouse.com/library/posting-a-question), and using Markdown formatting (https://teamtreehouse.com/library/code) to preserve the code's appearance.
