JavaScript JavaScript Basics (Retired) Creating Reusable Code with Functions Returning a Value from a Function

Code challenge error

In the first task it basically tells me to create a function which I do and it passes as long as I don't add any code to the function. Afterwards it tells me to add code to it and when I want it to check my work it says task 1 is no longer correct.

script.js 
function getYear() {
  var year = new Date().getFullyear();
  return year;
}

Hi Ira!

The Code Challenge sometimes behaves weirdly when it doesn't get the input that it is expecting. There's nothing wrong with Task 1, you just forgot to capitalize year in getFullYear():

var year = new Date().getFullyear();

should be:

var year = new Date().getFullYear();

Hope that helps!
