Returning a Value From A Function

Hi all,

Task 2 for this challenge states "add a statement that returns [the] variable from the function."

I believe I have done this correctly however when I press to Submit Work it tells me that Task One is no longer passing. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks

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

Double check your syntax to create a Date instance.
