Saying Help me is not very productive? Your title is really ambiguous, please elaborate on what you are looking to achieve?

I think what they're asking you to do is pass a number in the random_age function when it's called on the last line like so:

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

Forrest,

I haven't watched the course you're doing. Is that random_age function provided to you or you had to write that as part of a challenge?

In any case, in order to call the random_age function you need to pass it a number for the age parameter. So you call the function like so:

random_age(23);

I just used the number 23 as an example, but you can use any number you want.
