Where am I going wrong here?

Could someone give me a hint at what I am doing wrong here? I provided the function to round the number, and the alert is popping up however I am still getting an error.

script.js 
var temperature = 37.5;
alert ('Math.round(38)');
index.html

i doub you will get an error.The message in the alert box is Math.round(38) because you put that between quotes,so it is a string.The parameter in the alert must be without quotes and the parameter of the round method must pe the temperature variable
