4,962 Pointsconditional statement - alert
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'.
What is wrong with my code?
var a = 10;
var b = 20;
var c = 30;
if (a>b) {
alert('a is greater than b');}

In this case a is not greater than b so far, as 10 is not greater than 20 ;-) Try to increase a so it's greater than b and run the code again.
cheers,

16,742 Pointsoh and add an else statement as well in case that a is not greater than b. So you will get an answer the one way or the other

9,655 PointsHey Francesco, You've probably already figured this out. The question has two parts (if yes show this, if not show this).
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'); }
Hope this helps!
