904 Pointsi don't understand where i'm going wrong
the question giving an age and when i put the parameter (age) it does't recognize it. or if age should logically be a number
function random_age(age) {
Math.floor(Math.random() * age);
}
random_age(age);

8,449 PointsThe problem probably is that "age" is undefined. Make sure you're passing a number as an argument.
var age = 21;
random_age(age); // age is now defined.
Or maybe I'm not interpreting your question correctly.

904 Pointsyou mean like this off of the sample ? // Get a random number between 0 and a passed-in number

904 Pointsi just used a random number, in the bottom line. but i don't understand why it worked
