My first Javascript and jquery attempt with Sharepoint

I am trying to modify a copy of the master page for a site. I added <script src"//code.jquery.com//jquery-3.1.1.min.js" </script> as the last line before </head> then set this copy to default master page but it does not resolve and errors out.

What did I do wrong, or what is the right way to do this?

Here is what I do, with a reference to where I modeled my reference. Note, I am using a copy of jquery from the SharePoint hive. In order use a CDN, the url will replace the path to the hive. Also note, I have a test function that you would remove once you have confirmed that jquery is working as you want it to.

Test
<script language="javascript" src="/_layouts/LM_jQuery/jquery-current-min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script language="javascript" src="/_layouts/LM_jQuery/jquery.SPServices.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
      $(document).ready(function() {
            alert("jQuery");
       alert($().SPServices.SPGetCurrentSite());
       });
</script>

Hope that helps...

Are just the first two <script> lines needed to pull in jscript and the third to run test?

Let me also ask if /_layouts/LM_Query is where SharePoint makes the .js file available?

Sorry to be a dunce, but even with years of coding outside C# and Java<whatever> this all is fuzzy at first glimpse.

I tried just the first two <script> lines, set the "seattle" page copy to default master page, and still get this

Should have mentioned it is SP online....

It is possible to use jQuery with SharePoint online, but you will need to locate the jquery file somewhere such as the site assets library. I am not sure if SPO has jQuery somewhere that is can be used, but probably not since it is not an official MS process. You should also be able to reference the jQuery file locate at google as shown above, but I don't know that for sure.

Good luck...
