Hi Pride,

To pass this task you need to use the Math.floor() function. The correct code is shown below:

alert(Math.floor(temperature));

Hope this helps! Happy Coding!!!

Hey Thomas. How could you attach the coding page ( the black block part) on your answer? looks neat rather than just raw text :)

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

var temperature = 37.5;
var temperature = Math.floor (temperature);
alert (temperature);

This should work.

Hi Grace,

You create the black block by using the ` key three times then type the programming language

example: ```javascript

type in your code...

then you need to close the block with the three ```

Hope this helps!

yay!! I got it. Thank you Thomas :)
