Stumped trying to fix this one. Any smart folks out there?

Is there something wrong with this syntax?

script.js 
function sayHi () {

alert('Hi'};

      }
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
  <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
  <title>JavaScript Basics</title>
</head>
<body>
<script src="script.js"></script>
</body>
</html>

Oops, here is the task:

Inside the sayHi() function add the code to make an alert appear with the word "Hi" in it. The alert command should go inside the function's code block.

You got "}" closing instead of an" ) "at alert :)

function sayHi () {
alert('Hi');
}

It took me a moment to see that too ^^
