What is the impact of script order in programming?

What is the impact of script order in programming?

The order of scripts can affect how variables and functions are defined and executed. If a script relies on another script, it must be loaded after it.

Can you give me an example of how this works?

Sure! If you have a script that defines a function and another script that calls that function, the calling script must be placed after the defining script in the HTML.

What happens if I don't follow the correct order?

If the order is incorrect, you may encounter errors like 'undefined function' or 'variable not found' because the script hasn't been loaded yet.

Are there best practices for managing script order?

Yes, it's best to load scripts at the end of the body tag or use the 'defer' attribute to ensure they load in the correct order without blocking the page rendering.
