Hello Sev Rob

When wanting to pass a number into a function or any information, you will need to set a parameter for the function when declaring it. So in your case if you want to pass a number into the function for 'age' then set a parameter when declaring the function

function random_age(age) {
  Math.floor(Math.random() * age);
}

Then when calling the function pass in the number you would like age to be equal to.

random_age(1);

This video explains parameters well. https://teamtreehouse.com/library/giving-information-to-functions

Hope this helps,

You have to pass the 'age' required value in the call, last line of the js file.

Pass that value directly in the function

          random_age();
