I'm stuck on this code objective. Call the function by giving an age in the parameter. I keep getting errors.

What is the answer to "The structure of functions - Part 3 of 3"?

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

    <form action="" method="post" id="mash">
      <div class="choice-bucket">
        <h4 class="highlight">What's your future pet?</h4>
        <input name="pet[]">
        <input name="pet[]">
        <input name="pet[]">
        <input name="pet[]">
      </div>
      <input type="submit" value="Tell my fortune">
    </form>

    <script src="script.js"></script>

  </body>

The challenge wants you to supply an argument.

When the challenge refers to "the space for a parameter", they mean between the parentheses that follow the function name when you call the function. They want you to put a number (that might be an age) there.

Thanks - I had put a number and it didn't accept it before I left this comment. I don't know why it didn't accept it, and then accepted it after leaving the comment.
