i can't seem to answer that question right. i loaded the javascript file to the html(inside the head element)

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>JavaScript Basics</title>
   <script src="app.js."></script>
  </head>
  <body>       
    <script>
       alert("Begin Program");
    </script>   

  </body>
</html>

hi Holidson. Couple of things. You want to load the javascript file inside the body since that is what they tell you to do.. Also you should not have a period after "app.js". The "Begin Program" will go inside the javascript file in part 2 so delete that from the body. Hint you will need to use console.log instead of alert in part 2. hope this helps and keep at it Holidson!
