1,570 PointsChallenge tells me it can't see the else statement but the code runs and I'm not seeing any errors
here is my code;
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);
}
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);
}

if (a>b) {
alert("a is greater than b");
} else {
alert("a is not greater than b");
}
You don't need to do string concatenation

Courses Plus Student 476 PointsHi. your code works properly. Look: JSFiddle

1,570 PointsI thought it worked fine too but I keep getting the same error message. Looked up "alert" in MDN and was led to a page with the headline "archive of obsolete content." Maybe that's why I'm getting the error? And, i didn't know about JSFiddle. That looks very useful. Thank you!
Link below leads to MDN:

1,570 PointsOh. Well, geez. I was making it more complicated. That's so like me.

Treehouse TeacherSorry! You had a perfectly good (even better) answer than I was looking for. I'll edit the code challenge to work for your answer as well.
