Add a conditional statement that tests if the value in the variable a is greater than the value in variable b. If it is, pop up an alert with the message 'a is greater than b'; also add an else clause that pops up the message 'a is not greater than b.'
var a = 10;
if (a>b) {
alert("<p>a is greater than b</p>")
} else {
alert("<p>a is not greater than b</p>")
}

Treehouse TeacherAs far as I can see you're just missing some semicolons after your alert statements. See the code below:
var a = 10;
var b = 20;
var c = 30;
if(a > b) {
alert('a is greater than b');
} else {
alert('a is not greater than b');
}
Also, it seems that you removed the b and c variable. So it's going to have no idea if b is less than a or not, because b no longer exists.

When I do web searches and go to the other sites they always so me slightly different ways of coding similar problems and it is never the correct way for the problem in question. I forgot about the "<p> <?/p>"

10,419 PointsYou know, after struggling with this, I just removed the "var c = 30;" and it worked! Takeaway? If it doesn't belong there, remove it! Hope I'm right. :)

const a = 10;
const b = 20;
const c = 30;
if ( a > b){
console.log("a is greater than b");
}else{
console.log("a is not greater than b");
}
