Am i missing something here? :/ Everything looks correct but, it keeps feeding me the "Bummer" response. Thank you!
var temperature = 37.5;
temperature = alert(Math.round(temperature));
temperature = alert(Math.floor(temperature));

Courses Plus Student 4,748 PointsBummer: Did you give the Math.floor() method the variable temperature like this Math.floor(temperature)?...... is the response i keep getting today.
i believe it has something to do with the platform. bases on the error response, everything looks to be in order. it worked fine yesterday the way it's posted here. the original value of the variable shouldn't be the issue, since it tells you to change the value" Open an alert dialog a second time and display the temperature variable rounded downward to the nearest integer."
I changed the value using the Math.round() method anyways in the first question. so, I don't think that's the issue. Thank you!

54,972 Pointsmath.round() returns the rounded value but doesn't change the original argument. To see this try the following code:
var temperature = 37.5;
alert(Math.round(temperature));
console.log(temperature);
alert(Math.floor(temperature));
console.log(temperature);
In order to change the value you would need an assignment:
temperature = Math.round(temperature)
Since alert doesn't return anything in your code you are passing a value of undefined to Math.floor()

Courses Plus Student 4,748 PointsIt makes sense now. That would make sense why the first time I wasn't getting the error but, the second time I was. i suppose i was doing it right yesterday....which is why i repeat until it completely makes sense. so, thank you!
