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

Both floor() and round() achieve the same result in that they return an integer. But the quiz expects round() instead of floor(). By convention, the nearest integer to .5 is the next highest integer.

you've missed a semicolon at the end of the second line:
...
alert(Math.floor(temperature))
But I think that the main problem could be your script path. Are you sure that your script is in the same directory like your index.html? Maybe it is in the js folder. Try to check it and fix the path according to your folder:
If the script.js is in the js folder your path should be:
...
<script src="js/script.js"></script>

What did not work? Did you try round()?

11,033 PointsI passed question 1 of 2 with the rounding function. problem 2 of 2 with floor method does not pass, might be a bug here is my code.
var temperature = 37.5;
alert(Math.floor(temperature));
did not work, I tried multiple times with and without semicolons, as well as changing script src = "script.js"> </script> to <script src = "js/script.js" ></script>
I think it is a bug in the console.

This answer passed for me.
var temperature = 37.5;
alert(Math.round(temperature));
alert(Math.floor(temperature));
