There are two files: a web page, index.html, and a JavaScript file, shout.js. To run any programming in the shout.js file, you first need to load it into the index.html file. Add the required HTML to load the external JavaScript file into the web page. Make sure to add your code inside the <body> of the page.
Need help with this question on the challenge.

Ready?
You mixed up the placement of each snippet. <script> tags will always reside in your .html (markup) files. The logic will go into the actual .js file.

- Format your code. Check out the Markdown Cheatsheet link below the "Add an Answer" for syntax examples.
- Posting an answer without explanation is frowned upon by the Community. Not to mention, there is more going on than what you posted.
