Solution:

HTML Code:

<!DOCTYPE html><!-- Define document type as HTML5 -->
<html><!-- Start of HTML document -->
<head><!-- Start of head section -->
<meta charset="utf-8"><!-- Define character encoding -->
<title>How to specify the URL of an 
external script file</title><!-- Title of the document -->
</head><!-- End of head section -->
<body><!-- Start of body section -->
SCRipt src <!-- Text indicating the purpose of including an external script -->
<script 
src="https://www.w3resource.com/html-css-exercise/basic/solution/script-src-example.js"><!-- Include an external script file with specified URL -->
</script><!-- End of script element -->
</body><!-- End of body section -->
</html><!-- End of HTML document -->

Explanation:

This HTML code demonstrates how to specify the URL of an external script file using the src attribute within the <script> element.
The <script> element is used to include an external JavaScript file.
The src attribute within the <script> element specifies the URL of the external script file, which in this case is "https://www.w3resource.com/html-css-exercise/basic/solution/script-src-example.js".
Including external scripts allows developers to separate JavaScript code from HTML content, making it easier to manage and maintain code.
External scripts can be hosted on different servers or domains, providing flexibility and scalability for web development projects.
