The parameter is the thing you pass to the function and inside the function aka between the curly braces "{}" you write down the instructions you want the program to execute. so:

function random_age(age) {
}

"age" is your parameter of the function and you pass the challenge :)

function random_age(age) { }

All you have to do is put age in between the (___).
