Your getElementsByTagName should target the span element on the page; the 2nd span tag

Courses Plus Student 26,868 Pointsyeah, document.getElementsByTagName("span") will get you an Array of all the span elements on the page, and since you need the 2nd span element, you should select the item at 2nd index position of the Array, and assign it to the variable lastName.
