4,237 PointsJust noticed you also copied the var that the task gives you wrong. You have it as
var DateOfYear = new ;
Whereas this is what they gave you to copy.
var year = new Date().getFullYear();

First, you need to copy-paste the code the challenge gives you - it looks like this:
var year = new Date().getFullYear();
After that, you just need to return the year variable you just created:
return year;
Final code for this step will look like:
function getYear() {
var year = new Date().getFullYear();
return year;
}

4,237 PointsYou're returning the wrong thing.
The reason you created that variable:
var year = new Date().getFullYear();is so that you could quickly return it. I'm unsure what you are going for in that last, but all you have to do is put:
return year;And then you will be all set.
Once you create a variable, you no longer need to use quotes to call it, so thats why I am not doing return 'year';
