The problem is that sololearn website wraps javascript in an iife when it is written the javascript tab
[using chrome, firefox, and edge]

(function () {
function show() {
alert("Hi there");
}
})();
instead of function show() write function as a property of window,
window.show = function(){alert "Hi there"}

It's working fine for me,
maybe a little network issue or something like that.
Wait and revisit the website, it should work

The future is now thanks to science got where is the problem,
check if your file directory is correct or not if you don't well connect your html file to js then there is no defined show function which gives a refrence error.

@ACADEMIC I don't think it's a network issue because I tried the other code and they're working fine and also if I write the same code in the script tag of HTML it's working fine.
Example:
https://code.sololearn.com/W9a4A22a24a1
This code is working fine on the website but the above code mentioned in the question doesn't.Is it a bug or something else?
