Your code so far

function calculateSum(num1, num2) {
  return num1 + num2;
}

console.log(calculateSum(2, 5));
console.log(calculateSum(10, 10));
console.log(calculateSum(5, 5));

function calculateDifference(num1, num2) {
  return num1 - num2;
}

console.log(calculateDifference(22, 5));
console.log(calculateDifference(12, 1));
console.log(calculateDifference(17, 9));

function calculateProduct(num1, num2) {
  return num1 * num2;
}

console.log(calculateProduct(13, 5));


function calculateQuotient(num1, num2) {
  return num2 === 0 ? "Error: Division by zero" : num1 / num2;
}

console.log(calculateQuotient(7, 11));
console.log(calculateQuotient(3, 0));

Hi @juddhwolff and welcome to our community!

You should be returning the square of num, but you are returning num to the power of num, which is not quite the same. Squaring a number is raising it to the power of 2, not itself.
