Why Cannot I use Math.floor (temperature) for this challenge?
I tried Math.round (Math.floor (temperature)); and Math.floor (temperature);
var temperature = 37.5;
Math.round (Math.floor(temperature));
alert (temperature);

27,692 PointsCalling Math.round or Math.floor by themselves will not change the value of your temperature variable. You either need to store their value in a new variable:
var temperature = 37.5;
var roundedTemperature = Math.round(temperature);
alert(roundedTemperature);
Or, use it directly as the value to be returned:
var temperature = 37.5;
alert(Math.round(temperature));
In the first part of this challenge, you need to use Math.round, in the second one you need to create a new alert, but using Math.floor this time.
