Why does my modal not work? Bootstrap4
You have some script error and your data-target="#exampleModal" does not match with the model's ID

</html>I landed here because I was having the same error. After going back and reading a bit. I ran into the following:
If you’re using our compiled JavaScript, don’t forget to include CDN versions of jQuery and Popper.js before it.
Because I downloaded bootstrap 4 and copied the folders as I used to with bootstrap v3, I assumed it was all going to work.
Download section has the CDN for popper and jQuery

hope this helps... Nessio
There are typo in your snippet (unused }); at the end), but most importantly your toggle button is targeting the wrong modal id. Make sure data-target is the id of the modal you're targeting:
<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#myModal">
Launch demo modal
</button>
