Create a new variable named myAge and assign it a number value. var myAge = "31"

I'm not sure what is wrong

scripts.js 
var myName = "Daniela"
var myAge = "31"

Roxanne has the right answer. You want to declare your age as an Integer. By putting it inside quotes you are turning the integer into a string.
