Inside the function's code block, add the following line of code: const year = new Date().getFullYear(); This creates a

script.js 
function getYear(){
  const year = new Date().getfullyear()
  return getYear 
}

getYear();

Hi Sahmad. You are close but you have a couple of typos in the line they give you. Make sure you are using camel case on getFullYear() and make sure you have a semicolon at the end.

You also want to return the constant you just created (year) not the name of the function.

Lastly you should not be calling the function. That's great to test with in workspaces but challenges just want you to write the functions. They will call them during verification.

Hello guys, blessings, this is what worked for me (code something like this):

function get Year() { const year = new Date().getFullYear(); return year; }

Have a nice day.
