There are two uses for script tags. One is to enclose a block of code, and the other is to load in an external code file using the "src" property. The instructions only ask for a simple pair of tags (the first kind), but the code shown here has the second kind (and with a syntax error caused by a stray ")" symbol).

Also, when you get to task two, the instructions explicitly say, "Inside the script tags, write a function...".
