I am being given an error report. What am I doing wrong on line 2 (var lastName = document.getElementsByTagName("last_name")[1];
var fullName = document.getElementById('full_name');
var lastName = document.getElementsByTagName("last-name")[1];
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head></head>
<body>
<h1 id="full_name"><span class="first_name">Andrew</span> <span class="last_name">Chalkley</span></h1>
<script src="app.js"></script>
</body>
</html>

Using the tag name the code becomes:
var lastName = document.getElementsByTagName('span')[1];

9,961 PointsAlright, I didn't provide the full code sample, just an update for the second line. You shouldn't remove line 1:
