What I am I missing? (Code Check/Advice)

const Materials_Weight = 0.65; var UserWeight= prompt("What is your character's maximum inventory weight?"); parseInt(UserWeight,10); function convert (UserWeight){ var result= (UserWeight/Materials_Weight); parseFloat(result,10); return(result); } var Production= "You will produce" + result + 'beers';{} alert(Production);

The function "convert" is defined but never called. Also the variable "result" that is created inside the function is not available to the code outside the function.

A quick fix would be to replace the outside reference to "result" by calling the function:

var Production = "You will produce " + convert(UserWeight) + " beers";

And the braces {} before the "alert" don't do anything and can be removed.
