given that his next step down in difficulty was
>Given the area of a circle is given by Pi times the radius squared, write a function to calculate the area of a circle.
I think we can assume he was just looking for something trivial.

I think we can assume he was just looking for something trivial.
Also, his next step down isn't really one jump down in difficulty; it's presented as "if you don't even know how to begin to approach that problem I need to make sure that you can code something trivial." That is to say, it's an arbitrary number of steps down that implies little about the initial question's intended difficulty.
