It's "app.js" not "apps.js" -- no 's' after app.

That should work, even without a type src attribute declaration. Are you sure your script is in the same folder as your HTML file?

Well i don't know that ( is a quiz question). I tried to put some random folder name like "script", "js". But none of them worked.

It's possible that your apps.js file is in a different directory than your html file. If that's the case then you'd have to specify the exact path to your apps.js file. Instead of src="apps.js" it could maybe be src="js/apps.js". Hope that helped a little. :)

Ya i think that's the problem. But is a question from a quiz and i don't find anything about the folder of the js file ( i don't know if it's in the same folder or not).
