As said, you should be more specific with what the problem you are having is.

But a quick look at your code, I see the line,

```auto
  return math.random();

```

The `Math` object in JavaScript is capitalized.

There should have been a clue in the little black output window below the buttons and above the checkmarks - it should say _ReferenceError: math is not defined_ - that’s because there is no object called “math” - it is called “Math”. Capitalization is important in JS.
