You pass values (arguments) to a function by placing them inside of the parenthesis that follows the function name.

If I had a function named example, then I would pass the number 5 to it like this: example(5). A string would be passed in the same way: example("Hello World"). You can pass multiple arguments by separating them with a comma: example(5, 10).

To complete the third task, you just need to place a number within the parenthesis of the random_age function call.
