JavaScript - Fade in and Fade out function not working

I'm new to JavaScript. My goal here is fade in and out the box. Please review my code and let me know what am doing wrong here? When a user clicks Fade, the box should change opacity? I tried to define function fade button and call the function and execute the toggle fade in and out, but it appears to be not working.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
      <title>Watch That Box</title>
  </head>

  <style>
      .fade-in {
          opacity: 1;
      }   
  </style>
  
  <body>
      <p>Press the buttons to change the box!</p>
      
      <div id="box" style="height:150px; width:150px; background-color:orange; margin:25px;"></div>
      
      <button onclick="growbutton()"> Grow </button>
      <button onclick="fadebutton()"> Fade </button>
      <button onclick="resetbutton()"> Reset </button>
      <button onclick="bluebutton()"> Blue </button>

      <script>
          const box = document.getElementById("box");
          function fadebutton() {
              box.classList.toggle("fade-in");
          }
       </script>
       <script src="javascript.js"></script>
  </body>
</html>

The opacity style defaults to 1 so adding and removing the class is unnoticeable. Therefore I updated the opacity style to 0.5.

const box = document.getElementById("box");
const fade = document.getElementById("fade");

/* Click event listener for <button> with id value of "fade" */
fade.addEventListener("click", function() {
  box.classList.toggle("fade-in");
});
.fade-in {
  /* The style below has been updated. */
  opacity: 0.5;
}

#box {
  height:150px;
  width:150px;
  background-color:orange;
  margin:25px;
}
<body>
  <p>Press the buttons to change the box!</p>

  <div id="box"></div>

  <button id="fade">Fade</button>
</body>


The code snippet below demonstrates the implementation of the above solution within an HTML file.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
      <title>Watch That Box</title>
  </head>

  <style>
      .fade-in {
          opacity: 0.5; /* The style below has been updated. */
      }   
      
      #box {
        height:150px;
        width:150px;
        background-color:orange;
        margin:25px;
      }
  </style>
  
  <body>
      <p>Press the buttons to change the box!</p>
      
      <div id="box"></div>
      
      <button id="fade">Fade</button>

      <script>
          const box = document.getElementById("box");
          const fade = document.getElementById("fade");

          /* Click event listener for <button> with id value of "fade" */
          fade.addEventListener("click", function() {
              box.classList.toggle("fade-in");
          });
       </script>
  </body>
</html>
