else { console.log('a is NOT greater then b'); }

Add a conditional statement that tests if the value in variable a is greater than the value in variable b. If it is, log

script.js 
const a = 10;
const b = 20;
const c = 30;


if (a > b)  {
  console.log("a is greater then b");
} else {
  console.log('a is NOT greater then b');
}

The logic looked ok so I checked the directions. It's literally that it wants you to use the word 'than' instead of 'then'. Replacing the 2 'e's for 'a's worked for me. Best of luck to you!
