Code Challenge: The Math Object - Step 4

Step 4 : 

  var diameter = 5.75,
          a = 17,
          b = 42,
          c = 1337,
          ageIfILiveToYear2100 = (new Date(2100, 0, 1) - new Date(1995, 5, 16, 7, 20)) / (1000 * 60 * 60 * 24 * 365.242);
      var circumference = (Math.PI * 5.75);
      console.log (circumference);
      var chance = Math.random() * (0, 20);
      var maxWidth = Math.max (a, b, c);
      var age = Math.floor (0);

I am honestly lost on this last step. I know the answer is not 0 but I cannot figure this out. I have gone through Google countless times trying to figure it out. I am sure it's something very simple I am just overlooking or overthinking. Any help?

In your code you are flooring the value 0 -- you need to floor the variable ageIfILiveToYear2100.

It worked! Thank you so much. I was confused on this step. I thought I needed to use a number as the variable and not the actual variable...... I need to wrap Java more around my head lol.

Again thank you for helping me get through this challenge!

Excellent! (Don't confuse JavaScript with Java -- they actually have nothing to do with each other.) :)
