Yo... calm down. There is no reason for you to be swearing and attacking the company you are paying.

you don't put an alert JS code in the HTML.

To load the script, which you have right is between the script tag, the link to the .js file.

just delete the alert("I am Programming") in the html file and it'll work just fine.

Titled redacted. Original titled violated "Terms of Use" with profanity.

Jacori Porter This is to inform you that the language used in the titled was not appropriate for the Treehouse Community..

Also, when posting a question, an INFORMATIVE title with an actual question will yield the best results for helping you trouble shoot your problem with the challenge. Others would not be able to help you if they don't understand the what the code you have created is supposed to do or the problems / errors you are encountering.

Thank you,

I'm not sure who "Yall" might be, but it looks like you've added some code that is not part of the challenge. The instructions for task 4 only ask you to add a new console.log statement to app.js, not another alert.

You can fix it by simply removing the extra second alert from app.js.

And while it doesn't affect the challenge, JavaScript code should also not be mixed in with the HTML code. So the other alert line line should not have been added to index.html.
