Answer 1

try is not a good name!
Change it, and it works ;-)

Answer 2

You can't use names like : try , alert ,function , prompt etc as a function name

Answer 3

Yes indeed, try is reserved, in your SoloLearn it highlights purple, choose a correct name and it changes to white

Use this

<button onclick ="trybut()">BUTTON</button>

and don't forget to change the name of your function to trybut() too

Answer 4

try has a purpose in JavaScript
