Call the function by giving an age in the space for a parameter. 1 function random_age(70) { 2 Math.floor(Math.random(70) * age) 3 var random_age(70) 4 } 5 random_age(70);
function random_age(70) {
Math.floor(Math.random(70) * age)
var random_age(70)

// Creating the function random_age and passing the age variable as a parameter
Math.floor(Math.random() * age)
// Rounding down a random number then timesing by 70 which was passed into the function when i called random_age
}
random_age(70);

4,976 PointsYou are correct Steven thanks for pointing that out! I tunnel visioned and placed it there trying to translate his code over!
