It's checking the first task. You need to keep the code for both tasks. There is a note indicating to do so:

Important: In each task of this code challenge, the code you write should be added to the code from the previous task.

Thank you!! for a mistake i cancel one line of code.

The Math.floor method will alert the number 37.

The Math.round method will alert the number 38.

MDN Reference:

Math.floor(x) - Returns the largest integer less than or equal to a number.

Math.round(x) - Returns the value of a number rounded to the nearest integer.

Hope this helps.
