code challenge bug javascript basics math

Appears to be a bug since I think my answer is correct

var temperature = 37.5 alert(Math.round(temperature)); alert(Math.roundfloor(temperature));

Hi Aiden,

Your second rounding statement isn't using the correct method. You want Math.floor(). Math.roundfloor() doesn't exist :).

var temperature = 37.5
alert(Math.round(temperature));
alert(Math.floor(temperature));

It's also missing a semicolon from the var temperature = 37.5 initialization, although it isn't necessary as long as the lines are formatted as you have them. I don't know if the challenge would pick up on that or not.

Thanks that makes perfect sense.

Yeah, Marcus Parsons, I noticed that, too, but it turns out that text is pre-populated in the code challenge! Can't hold that against him :).

Well, there's no link to this challenge from this question, and because of such, I have no idea what text is pre-populated or not lol. Regardless, it's still a valid remark. :)
