What am I missing? I'm so lost and confused.

231,269 PointsAs the hint suggests, you forgot to assign weatherForecast.TimeOfDay
using the parsed value. But there's two other issues also:
- the assignment should only occur if the "TryParse" was successful
- all the method code needs to occur before the return statement
