you need to investigate passing parameters to and from function

as you are obviously a beginner I don't want to give you the answer to 
your task but hopefully steer you in the right direction.

examine the code below & see if you can understand how it is working & 
how to apply it to your current project

def double(value):
	result
	return result

number=input('type a number')
print (double(int(number)))

this program is for explanation only and a function this simple should 
never be used in a real program, it is functionally equivalent to

number=input('type a number')
print (int(number)*2)
