Hi, once you've named your function you call it just by it's name, and without the function keyword. So once it's created, you just need to enter getYear() to call it. Create a new variable "var yearToday" and set it's value to the "getYear()" function. Like so;

var yearToday = getYear();

Hope this helps, good luck!
