How do we link two different programs together I tried <script src="myJSfile.js"></script)

I tried using .js and .html toward the end of the code to see If I can link them but I keep getting an error.

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>JavaScript Basics</title>
  </head>
  <body>
<script src="myJSfile.js"> 
    </script> 
  </body>
</html>
app.js 
<script src="myJSfile.html"></script>

No need to declare anything in the JS file. if it's declared at the bottom of the html body then you are good to go.

<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>JavaScript Basics</title>
  </head>
  <body>
  <script src="app.js"> </script> 
  </body>
</html>
