Hello Kim Dallas just remember that you will have to close the <script > tag and inside that you can place your code and at the end do not forget to close it </script>

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en" dir="ltr">
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title></title>
  </head>
  <body>
      <script type="text/javascript"> // all your code  
      </script>
  </body>
</html>

Also if you don't close it is like you are using the alert as an attribute of the script tag when the reality is alert() is a function. hopefully that will help you if you have any questions let me know.
