Initializing variables

The main problem is not the Math.round call.

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

You initialized the variable temperature twice. To set a variable you already initialized, don't use the var, let or const keyword again.

Tip: you can use the temperature value instead of using it's literal value.

alert(Math.floor(temperature));
