55 Pointsthe alert does not work as per the video.in my case both the alerts popped simultaneously one after the other

Not long ago, it was common for browsers to display page info while the JavaScript was running, but now it's more common for the browser to wait until the JavaScript program finished before displaying the rendered page.
So it would make sense that with modern browsers, both alerts would be displayed as the program runs, but anything written to the page would not be seen until the program ended. The browser used in the video probably had a different behavior.
