After line 4 in the app.js file, assign the greeting event handler to the click event on the sayButton.
The error code is telling me touse the 'onclick' property on the button and assign it the 'greeting' function
var sayButton = document.getElementById("say");
var greeting = function() {
alert("Hello World!");
}
button.onclick=greeting
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head></head>
<body>
<button id="say">Say "Hello World!"</button>
<script src="app.js"></script>
</body>
</html>

var sayButton = document.getElementById("say");
var greeting = function() {
alert("Hello World!");
}
sayButton.onclick = greeting;
