Call the function by giving an age in the space for a parameter.

I'm having a difficult time solving this one. Help!

Thanks

script.js 
function random_age(age) {
  Math.floor(Math.random() * age);
}
function random_age(age)  {
  Math.floor(Math.random() * age);
}

Hey Tyree,

The challenge is prompting you to enter a numeric value as an argument.

In this example, I've entered my own age as an argument to the random_age function call.

function random_age(age) {
  Math.floor(Math.random() * age);
}
random_age(25);
