It looks like you've encountered a few issues in your function definition and usage. Let's address them step by step:
1. The parameter name in the function definition should not be a literal value (like `10`). Instead, it should be a variable name.
2. The function should use the parameter name you defined to perform operations inside the function.
3. In the function call, you need to pass an actual value or variable as an argument.
Here’s the corrected version of the code:
```python
def double(num):
print(f"The number {num} doubled is {num * 2}")
double(10) # Calling the function with 10 as an argument
```
### Changes Made:
- Changed `def double(10):` to `def double(num):` so that `num` can be used as a parameter.
- In the function definition, replaced `num` with the parameter name `num`.
- When calling the function, you can directly use `double(10)` to see the doubled value.
Now, when you run this code, it will correctly output:
```
The number 10 doubled is 20
```
