Footer getting stuck to the content

The footer is getting stuck to the content which is the opposite of what we're trying to achieve, which leaves a huge empty space below the footer. I tried following the instructions exactly, I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

here is the code :

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
    <title>Best City Guide</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/normalize.css">
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/style.css">
</head>
<body>
  <div class="wrap">
    <header class="main-header">
        <div class="container">
            <h1 class="name"><a href="#">Best City Guide</a></h1>
            <ul class="main-nav">
                <li><a href="#">ice cream</a></li>
                <li><a href="#">donuts</a></li>
                <li><a href="#">tea</a></li>
                <li><a href="#">coffee</a></li>
            </ul>
        </div>
    </header>

    <div class="container">
        <h2>Welcome!</h2>
        <p>Everything in this city is worth waiting in line for.</p>
        <p>Cupcake ipsum dolor sit. Amet chocolate cake gummies jelly beans candy bonbon brownie candy. Gingerbread powder muffin. Icing cotton candy. Croissant icing pie ice cream brownie I love cheesecake cookie. Pastry chocolate pastry jelly croissant.</p>
        <p>Cake sesame snaps sweet tart candy canes tiramisu I love oat cake chocolate bar. Jelly beans pastry brownie sugar plum pastry bear claw tiramisu tootsie roll. Tootsie roll wafer I love chocolate donuts.</p>
    </div>
</div>
    <footer class="main-footer">
        <span>&copy;2015 Residents of The Best City Ever.</span>
    </footer>
</body>
</html>

You have a few typos. 

  .warp {
  min-height: clac(100vh - 89px);
}

warp is supposed to be wrap. Clac is supposed to be calc. It should work once those are fixed. Hope this helps!
