Courses Plus Student 762 PointsAdd a conditional statement that tests if the value in variable a is greater than the value in variable b. If it is, log
Did you add an else
clause to the end of the conditional statement?
const a = 10;
const b = 20;
const c = 30;
if (a > b) {
console.log("a is greater than b");
} eslse {
console.log("a is not greater than b");

Front End Web Development Techdegree Student 10,722 PointsHi John! -
You are very close. You have misspelled else and need to add a closing }. If you do that, your code will work.
Happy coding!
