Here is an example to illustrate how to use script tags and the src attribute to include an external JavaScript file in HTML code:

<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="filename.js" ></script>
</head>
<body>
.......
</body>
</html>

To use JavaScript from an external file source, you need to write all the JavaScript code in a simple text file ".js" using an extension, and then include the file as shown above.

For example, you can keep the content of filename.js in the following file, and then use sayHello function in the HTML file after including the filename.js file:

function sayHello() {
  alert("Hello World")
}
