Hi Izabella, you're trying to round down to the nearest integer and then round to the nearest integer at the same time, which is a no no:

alert(Math.round(Math.floor(temperature)));

What the challenge is asking for is for the 'temperature' variable to be rounded to the nearest integer first and then rounded down to the nearest integer next, so that's two steps with two alert dialogs:

alert(Math.round(temperature));
alert(Math.floor(temperature));
