Am I miss reading the Task? It is to call the alert.("Warning"); call in the script tag?

Task 2 of 2 " Inside the script tags, write a function that will open an alert dialog with the message 'Warning!' "

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
  <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
  <title>JavaScript Basics</title>
</head>
<body>
  <script>
    alert.("Warning!");
  </script>
</body>
</html>

Alert is a function, you do not need the dot(.) notation.

alert("Warning!");

That's all you need since alert is a function all of it's own, and whatever you pass into it is what will be displayed.

Thank you! I will remember that. Interesting in the workspace using the dot notation still called the function
