<script> alert("Warning!"); </script>

Is there a problem when I follow the rule of making a statement of "inside the script tags, write a statement of 'alert' which runs "Warning!" What is wrong in this code?

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

You added too much code and tried to import a JavaScript file that does not exist

<!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>
