Hi Heraldo. Welcome to Treehouse.

Your code is correct with the exception of a missing ; (semi-colon) at the end of your alert statement.

Also, you are missing the else statement the challenge asks for: "also add an else clause that pops up the message 'a is not greater than b'."

Just add that and you're good to go. Keep Coding! :)

Thanks for replying!
