I need help with my code challenge project.

I added a script tag and src attribute to index.html. Not sure what to do next.

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>JavaScript Basics</title>
    <script src="myJSfile.js"></script>
  </head>
  <body>

  </body>
</html>
app.js

Hi Allen. Your src needs to be the name of your js file. In this case it should be app.js and should be between the body tags.

Mark I'm having a problem with challenge 2. I went to app.js added console.log with a quote and it didn't work.

It should be console.log(“begin program”);

Hi Mark, I working on Challenge 2 of 3 (combine strings). It's not working for me. Do you have any input you can share with me?
let msg = 'Carlos' + ", " + 'Salgado:'; let role = msg + 'developer'; create a string: Carlos Salgado: developer.

Hi Allen. Make sure you are using your variables. Something like

let msg = firstName + ' ' + ......

just continue with you other variable. make sure you do the spacing correct on the colon.
