Code Challenge: Adding Point Markers to a Map: Geocoding 1/2

The instructions for this are confusing.

In "app.js" on line 11 set "geocoder" to a new google.maps namespaced "Geocoder" object

This is the provided code with where I've put what I think it's asking me for. It says to add the code on line 11, but the javascript is further down starting on line 18. I've tried adding the var geocoder = new google.maps.Geocoder(); up at line 11 and down inside of app.js. Neither work.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title>Map</title>
    <style type="text/css">
    body, html {
        margin:0;
        padding:0;
    }
    body, html, #map {
    width:100%;
        height:100%;
    }
    </style>
</head>
<body>
    <div id="map"></div>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=AIzaSyAn8fk75K8kCdW6pQ4B7yoBHJNrUbleieY&sensor=false"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="app.js">
        var geocoder = new google.maps.Geocoder();
  </script>
</body>
</html>

Disregard. I was adding the code to the wrong file.
