2,585 PointsDon't know how to write the conditional statement correctly
?
var a = 10;
var b = 20;
var c = 30;
var answer = prompt ('a>b?');
if (answer = 'a>b') {
alert("<p> a is greater than b </p>");
} else {
alert("<p> a is NOT greater than b </p>");
}

650 PointsIn your initial example you have some quotes around your conditional, try removing those:
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");
}

650 PointsFor this one you don't need the answer var or prompt, just the conditional.
Inside your if() try comparing just the a and b variables!
