function

Inside the function's code block add this line of code var year = new Date().getFullYear(); This creates a new variable and stores the current year in it. Now, add a statement that returns this variable from the function

script.js 
function getYear(){
  var year= newDate().getFullYeay();
  return year;
}
alert (getYear());
