Can anyone see what's wrong with my code? Need a fresh pair of eyes. Thanks!

I can't quite see how I've made a mistake in this code challenge.

script.js
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");
}

all good, only this last line.

alert (" a is not greater than b");

there shouldn't be a space before a is....

Hi Tobi,

The challenges can get quite specific. Try removing the space before the a on this line:

alert (" a is not greater than b");

Hope that helps.
