You’ve got the right idea, there are just a couple of errors.

var temperature = 37.5;
alert(Math.round(temperature));
alert(Math.floor(weight); /* You’re missing a ), and this shouldn’t be ‘weight’. */

Happy coding!

Gareth, not sure if you figured this out yet already. The challenge asks you to use 'temperature' for both Math methods. Just replace 'weight' with 'temperature'!

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