11,461 Pointsi've tried that adam. var temperature=Math.round(temperature) it's not working
Adam Beer
11,314 PointsYes, because This is just a variable where you store the value. Now you store the rounded number value inside the variable. Write below the variable an alert() dialog, and put inside the variable name.
On line 2 write an alert() dialog, and put inside to the variable name. Now the variable name equal to temperature.

11,461 PointsI've tried that. It's not working
Adam Beer
11,314 PointsI don't think so.
Your frist line -> var temperature = Math.round(37.5);
Your second line -> alert() with your variable name?
Please share me what your code looks like.

11,461 PointsI thought I had. I will try it again. I really appreciate your help.
Kim Dallas
11,461 PointsMy exact code is
var temperature=Math.round(37.5); alert (temperature);
Adam Beer
11,314 PointsYes! That's it! This is the good code for task 1 :) Just write in a new line, like this:
var temperature = Math.round(37.5);
alert(temperature);
