Joe Beltramo
Courses Plus Student 22,191 PointsYou need to add a way to load the shout.js file into the index.html file.
In order to do this you are going to want to add the html tag script:
<script></script>
Next you will want to link the shout.js file by adding the src attribute to the script tag:
<script src="javascriptFileName.js"></script>
Hint: Replace javascriptFileName.js with shout.js

You don't need to duplicate the alert() function in both files. Just keep the one in the .js file as you currently have it. Then you need to link to the shout.js file inside the index.html file as Joe Beltramo mentions above.

<head> ... <script src="javascriptFileName.js"></script> ... </head>

Courses Plus Student 22,191 PointsThe challenge specifically asks for the script tag to be placed in the body. So unfortunately your solution would not pass the challenge requirements.
