You have few erros. u define a function named "square" and u didnt call her anywhere. First u need to get input from the user >>> call the function and store the result >> print the result.

def square (number):
   return number * number 


number = int(input("what number square?"))
result = square(number)
print(result)

number = int(input("what number to square?")) answer = square(number) print ("the square of {} is {}".format(number,answer))
