If that's all you have in your functions.js file, you have a single function which isn't being called anywhere so the code isn't really going to do anything on its own.

Re-watch the video again, and you'll see that Jim invokes the function to get some output.

someFunction();

Thank you so much. Yes it's because I didn't evoke it.
