Error

This is the question.

Write the Ruby code to check if the variable "a" is greater than the variable "b".

So I typed in "a" > "b" but it won't accept it. I don't see what I'm doing wrong. Any help would be appreciated.

"a" > "b"

The quotes have changed your variables into strings. Remove the quotes.
