10,515 PointsTask1 is no longer passing
In Task 2 of 3 I'm supposed to copy and paste some code into the function I created in the first Task and return the variable year. When I submit my code I get the error "Oops! It looks like Task1 is no longer passing." I'm honestly confused. If I'm not supposed to put anything inside the function from task 1, then why tell me to paste a line of code into the function?
function getYear() {
var year = new Date().getFullYear();
}
return year;

14,268 PointsThat seems odd you're not allowed to put anything inside the function. The whole point of the function is to return the current year...
function getYear() {
var year = new Date().getFullYear();
return year;
}

10,515 PointsWell I just restarted chrome, did the task the exact same way as I did before, and now it suddenly works...

10,515 PointsI've tried everything I can think of. Which isn't a whole lot, given the limited code in this task, but still. No matter what I put inside that function, I always get the same error.
