To get the current year in JavaScript, call the new Date() constructor to get a date object and call the getFullYear() method on the result, e.g. new Date(). getFullYear() . The getFullYear method will return a number corresponding to the current year.

var today = new Date();
var year = today.getFullYear();
console.log(year);

Can it be used as the heading on a webpage

Yes. Just do

var today = new Date();
var year = today.getFullYear();
document.title=year+' verification exercise';

or you could get the h1 tag by id and do innerHTML

Replace var with let or const.

var is buggy should not be used in new codes.

<h1 class="year" > </h1>


<s.cript>
var year = document.querySelector(".year")

year.innerText = new Date().getFullYear()
</s.cript>

<s.cript>
var year = document.querySelector(".year"

year.innerText = new Date().getFullYear()
</s.cript>

use let. ES6 has laid var to rest.
