Conditional statement code challenge problem

I've seen this question a couple other times but no one else is running into the problem I'm having. When I use this code it says, "Did you use the 'alert()' method?" I'm stumped!

var a = 10;
var b = 20;
var c = 30;

if (a > b) {
  alert("a is greater than b")
} else {
  ("a is not greater than b")
};

Your "else" statement isn't using the alert() method. And you possibly need a semicolon after each alert().
