Hi! Just want to report a typo. Instruction on #3 : Finally, call the function with the following values for seconds

‘seconds’ should be ‘avgSongLength’ because that is the name of the function we wrote in Instruction #1.

Thank you!
Kevin

If I tried an implicit return for this exercise, I got a compile time error. Can someone point to some clarification of when one must explicitly use return?

If the code you write is longer than one line you’ll need to use the return keyword.
Unfortunately this small but important detail was not mentioned the lesson before.
