Why isn't this working? I've only gotten up to the point of knowing Math.Round

I'm told to display an alert from the temperature variable rounded to the nearest integer. Am I missing something here?

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

Hey Edward,

You do not want to capitalize your Math.round function. If you change it to Math.round(temperature), that should allow you to pass the first part of the challenge.

I hope that helps. Best of luck!

Thanks, Collin! That did it. I'm trying to get used to a lot of this stuff.
