I'm trying to round the number, with Math.round() But it keeps saying that I have some syntax errors
var temperature = 37.5;
window.alert("Math.round(37.5)");

window.alert( /* Something */ ) // this is wrong
alert( /* Something */ ) // this is right
Another problem, you don't use double quotes for the argument always, unless you are using a string. The function alert already transforms it into one. Here:
var temperature = 37.5
alert( "Math.round (temperature )" ) // this is wrong
alert( Math.round( temperature ) ) // this is right
