Why isn't the Math.floor working in this variable?

The variable is named. The temperature is specified The Math.floor seems to be spelled and spaced correctly.

script.js 
const temperature = 37.5;
const tempRounded = Math.round(temperature);
const tempRoundDown = Math.floor(tempRounded);

I don't understand your code because you rounded the number(the number became '38' ) then you used floor function on the result of that rounded number(38) which will be the same result for both variables .

if you wanna different result:

const temperature = 37.5;

const tempRounded = Math.round(temperature);
console.log(tempRounded); // result 38

const tempRoundDown = Math.floor(temperature);
console.log(tempRoundDown);// result 37
