2,039 PointsTrying to solve challenge "Call the function by giving an age in the space for a parameter.?"
I am having a problem figuring this one out. I keep getting the error: Bummer! There was an error with your code: ReferenceError: Can't find variable: age
This is my script: function random_age(age) { Math.floor(Math.random() * age); } random_age(age);
Help Please, Todd
function random_age(age) {
Math.floor(Math.random() * age);
}
random_age(age);

While it is a parameter of the function and can be reference there, it has not been defined outside the function.
But what the challenge is asking for you to add as an argument in the call is just a number.

If you want to pass a
parameter
namedage
to a function, you need to assign some value to it.Just think about it, what are you expecting to see when passing
age
as your param?Surely you want to get some (numerical) result.
