INTERNAL JAVASCRIPT

                 When JavaScript code is written within the HTML web page then it is called internal JavaScript.
                 We use the <SCRIPT> and </SCRIPT> tags to place the JavaScript codes either in the <HEAD> or
                 <BODY> tag of the HTML5 document. The syntax to add internal JavaScript is:
                 <HEAD>
                 <SCRIPT>

                 JavaScript code
                 .....

                 </SCRIPT>
                 <HEAD>
                 OR

                 <BODY>
                 <SCRIPT>
                 JavaScript code
                 .....

                 </SCRIPT>
                 </BODY>

                 EXTERNAL JAVASCRIPT

                 JavaScript code can be written in a file and saved with the .js extension and this file can then be
                 linked inside the <head> and </head> tags of the HTML document in which we want to add this
                 code. The SRC attribute of the <script> tag allows to give path of the JavaScript file. The syntax to
                 add external JavaScript is:

                 <HEAD>
                 <SCRIPT TYPE="text/javascript" SRC="D:\first.js">
                 </SCRIPT>
                 </HEAD>
                 Note that there are many other scripting languages, hence, it is recommended to use the TYPE
                 attribute with the <SCRIPT> tag and set its
                 value to  text/javascript  to  specify  that

                 scripting language we are using.                   First web browser to support javascript
