I've no idea what this 2nd challenge suppose to mean ? Don't understand. Please help

How come just adding a second alert box can solve the program ???

Var temparature = 37.5; Math.round(temperature); alert(temperature);

Challenge 1 done

For the next

Var temparature = 37.5; Math.round(temperature); alert(temperature); Math.floor(temperature); alert(temperature);

It says that code 1 is no longer passing - Please help me :(

script.js 
var temperature = 37.5;
Math.round(temperature);
alert(temperature);
alert(temperature);

Hi,

You need a second line with Math.floor instead of round. 

var temperature = 37.5;

alert(Math.round(temperature));
alert(Math.floor(temperature));

Hi there, Thank you for your response. yes i did include the Math.floor - It still didn't run because i did't a silly mistake -> There was a spell error with the word temperature :) - I figured it out later on that day :)
