 * Hi, I would like to load the bundled jQuery and my other javascript files in 
   the footer. I put the following code in my functions.php and it loaded the javascript
   files in the footer via the wp_footer() hook. Is this the right way? Will it 
   cause conflicts with plugins?
 *     ```
       function load_javascript_files () {
       	wp_enqueue_script( 'jquery' );
       	wp_enqueue_script( 'bootstrap-js', get_template_directory_uri() . '/js/bootstrap.min.js' );
       }
   
        add_action( 'wp_footer', 'load_javascript_files' );
       ```
