Hi Sean Lafferty The sites editor is very speciifc. The challenge asked for the variable to be "rounded" to the nearest integer. So I think they want us to use the Math.round method.

alert(Math.round(temperature))

For this challenge to pass you need the "alert(Math.round(temperature)); " from the first challenge as well.

var temperature = 37.5;
alert(Math.round(temperature));
alert(Math.floor(temperature));
