Its asking you to type the word age into the functions parameters Where do parameters go in a function? Parameters are the parts of functions that are changeable and give flexibility to your functions. i.e

Function getArea (width, length) { var area = width * length; return area; }

console.log( getArea ( 2, 3 ) );

What do you think I changed in that function by calling it with the console.log? Thats where you put your parameters Hope this helps :)
