Don't know if this pertains to your problem, since you haven't said
explicitly what you're trying to do, but it looks like you want the
square of all numbers x where 5 < x < 10? If that's the case, there
are two problems. One, as was mentioned, is that .times starts at 0.
The other is that the keyword "return" will exit the function. It will
pass num, square to the source of the function call, and then it the
function is done being evaluated.

You can solve this by either building an array of value/square pairs
or moving the iteration up a level, so that the method gets called 10
times with a new value each time.
