I keep getting an error message on Task 2 that says 'Task One No longer passing'

After step one I get to step 2 and my code for step one no longer works. What am I doing wrong?

  var anonymousFunction = function() {
    (function(){
    window.didExecute = true' execute;
    })();

The second question isn't related to the first anonymous function, but the one below it.

All you need to do is separate your anonymous functions by finishing var anonymousFunction = function () { with the closing curly brace, and a semi-colon, and your code should work. Also remove the stray apostrophe after true.

This passes. As Bryan said, don't relate the two questions. I think the first exercise is making sure you understand how write an anon function.

      var anonymousFunction = function() {};

      (function () {
        window.didExecute = true;
      })();
