Finally, call the getYear function. Store the returned value of the function in a new variable named yearToday.

script.js 
function getYear() { 
  const year = new Date().getFullYear(365);
 return year;
}
const year = (yearToday);

Close but you have to call the getYear() function which returns the year. You have the variable named year which has to be yearToday.

function getYear() { 
  const year = new Date().getFullYear(365);
 return year;
}
const yearToday = getYear();
