The challenge states at the end of the script, so just before the '</script>'. Add a line of code to similar to the one that prints 'Begin program'.
The 'console.log' is a great way of outputting programatic information. We used to use 'alert' but this would interrupt the user experience. This is something you should write down and memorise as you will use it frequently. Try:
console.log("End program");

7,322 PointsYou seem to have done it correct, just remember the smaller things like the quotations inside the parenthesis and to close each line with the semi-colon. Also, the test didn't pass the first time for me because I forgot my uppercase 'B' on Begin program.
Hope I helped!
