14,583 PointsYou need a space between return and year, also curly bracket goes at the end:
function getYear() {
var year = new Date().getFullYear();
return year;
}

230,688 PointsYou're close, but I see 3 issues:
- the new code should be inside the function (between the braces)
- you wrote "Data" instead of "Date"
- there should be a space between "return" and "year"
