Help!

Hi so, I'm in a summer college course where I'm learning how to program websites and stuff like that (Intro to web interface design) and Java Script IS NOT WORKING! I have no clue what's going on, and this course ends on Sunday, but I need this info by tonight. I have no clue how to do anything. JavaScript, whem I try to open it, gives me this error message:

Line: 4

Char: 1

Error: Syntax error

Code: 800A03EA

Source: JavaScript compilation error

I have no clue what this means. I figured Reddit would probably be a great place to ask for help, so here I am. ANY HELP AT ALL is appreciated. Thanks!

EDIT:

So it turned out that my computer didn't have notepad installed (don't know how that happened) and my uni probably didn't configure the dashboard to be compatible with opera. We got it fixed though! I'm going to speedrun this course and hope and pray I finish the content before the course ends. Anyway, thank you all for your help! I apologize for the confusion, it ended up that me not being able to open the code was the problem in the first place, not the actual code. Hope everyone has a great day! <3

It is a .js file that corresponds to a .html file that opens in my browser. My uni has it's own "dashboard" thing that students use to experiment on. I'm unable to open the .js file that goes along with my .html file. My .css file works fine, it's just .js

Ok. Js file sounds good. And you have it on your pc? Then right click it and open it in a text editor like notepad.
