Where do I put the script?

I am doing the first challenge task in the course and I cannot figure out where to put the opening and closing <script>

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
  <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
  <title>JavaScript Basics</title>
</head>

<body>

<script>

Heya! You are really close! The script tags go before the closing body tag:

<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
  <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
  <title>JavaScript Basics</title>
</head>

<body>

  <script>
  </script>
