Inside the function's code block, add the following line of code: const year = new Date().getFullYear(); This creates a

function getYear() {
  const Year = new Date().getFullYear(); 
  return getYear();
}

Hello guys, blessings, this is what worked for me (code something like this):

function get Year() { const year = new Date().getFullYear(); return year; }

Have a nice day.
