You have

document.write console.log('End Program');

Try

console.log('End program');

What this guy says. On the 2nd task of the challenge it tells you to place the necessary code that will print out "Edn program" to the console, after the last line. You did, but you included document.write before console.log and the interpreter has no idea what you want there because 

document.write console.log("End program");

simply isn't a thing that you can combine on one line.
