I am using this and it look correct and even gives me the alert box with 37 in it.
'''var temperature = 37.5; alert(Math.floor(temperature));'''
var temperature = 37.5;
alert(Math.floor(temperature));

alert(Math.round(temperature));
I tested and the challenge only accepts Math.round(), not Math.floor() or Math.ceil().

1,244 PointsJoe - much thanks for quick reply.
It is a two part question - the first part is round down and the second question, according to the hint is expecting floor (and it seems to work because I get a dialog box showing 37).
Here is a screenshot showing the issue: http://note.io/1C80ren

18,249 PointsOh! The challenge engine does not like it when you remove a line from a past step! Instead of removing the Math.round, add a second alert with the math.floor instead!
