3,932 PointsAdd a conditional statement that tests if the value in variable a is greater than the value in variable b. If it is, log
The error is telling me that I am not logging in that a is not greater than b. But I clearly am in my else conditional.
var a = 10;
var b = 20;
var c = 30;
if (a>b){console.log("a is greater than b.");}
else {console.log("a is NOT greater than b.");}

Treehouse Project ReviewerThis is one of those times where it's unfortunate how picky the backend of the challenge is being. What you have is fine, though I'm not sure why the change from const
s to var
s but that doesn't matter for this one.
You just need to remove the periods from the end of your console log strings.
var a = 10;
var b = 20;
var c = 30;
if (a>b){console.log("a is greater than b");}
else {console.log("a is NOT greater than b");}

3,932 PointsThank you! I do not know why it made a deal about my periods in that statement.

Treehouse Project ReviewerI know some of these challenges are extremely specific in what they want. I'm sorry you got held up on that one but at least your logic and code was valid and correct!
