For this Code Challenge you need to use JavaScript's Math methods. Declare a new variable named tempRounded. Assign it

script.js 
const temperature = 37.5;
tempRounded(Math.round(temperature));

There's a few bugs in your code Sahmad. First, You needed to declare tempRounded as a variable using either the "let" or "var" keywords. Second, You make a little mistake by in the last line of code. There's a syntax error there. It should have been: let tempRounded = Math.round(temperature); Hope this helps

Hi Sahmad, Thanks for inviting me to this challenge. I feel I have a good understanding of JavaScript but even so a quick little Google search helped. W3Schools is an excellent resource. Hope this helped.

PS. The question asks you to store it as a variable. You were very close, you only forgot to assign the variable.

I am still getting an unexpected token error. Maybe it's the system?
