What is the difference between placing the <script> or <style> tags INside or OUTside the <head> or <body> tags?

I wrote this example to illustrate my question. Notice that the <script> and <style> tags are NOT placed inside the <body> OR the <head> and it still works. Why is this style of programming not mentioned in the "JS Main Course"? Does it make a difference? https://code.sololearn.com/WqXwV16OJpFx/?ref=app

JavaScript is a known language to freely allow mistakes, it is more correct to put <script> in the <head> section, yet practically doesn't matter mostly.

So it is more like a coding standard to ensure consistency. Thank you! :)
