this about the challenger 1 :"Move the script tag where it'll get executed after the page loads."

Should I delete the script? or create a variable ?

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
  <head>
    <title> JavaScript Foundations: Variables</title>
    <style>
      html {
        background: #FAFAFA;
        font-family: sans-serif;
      }
    </style>
    <script src="myscript.js"></script>
  </head>
  <body>
    <h1 id="title">JavaScript Foundations</h1>
    <h2>Variables: Basics</h2>

    <div id="container">
      This is a div with the id of "container"
    </div>
  </body>
</html>
myscript.js 
/* JavaScript Foundations: Variables */

var bgColor = "";
var textColor = "";

var container = document.getElementById('title');
container.style.background = bgColor;
container.style.color = textColor;

It is asking you to move the script tag that is in the head to a place in the document where the <script> tag will load after all html content has loaded.

You don't have to do anything with the myscript.js file yet. All you have to do is move the script tags.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
  <head>
    <title> JavaScript Foundations: Variables</title>
    <style>
      html {
        background: #FAFAFA;
        font-family: sans-serif;
      }
    </style>

    /*This script tag will try to load BEFORE all other content. 
    Move it somewhere that will force it to load AFTER all other content has loaded */
    <script src="myscript.js"></script>

  </head>
  <body>
    <h1 id="title">JavaScript Foundations</h1>
    <h2>Variables: Basics</h2>

    <div id="container">
      This is a div with the id of "container"
    </div>
  </body>
</html>
