Can you please tell me what it is that I am doing wrong here?

Trying to create a function named getYear....

isn't it just:

function getYear()

script.js 
function getYear()
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
  <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
  <title>JavaScript Basics</title>
</head>
<body>
<script src="script.js"></script>
</body>
</html>

The declaration of a function always needs its own set of curly braces. Like this:

function getYear() {
}
