You're doing fine. The only issue here, with regards to the challenge, is the space at the end of the 'a is not greater than b' string. By the way, there is also a space at the beginning of the other string as well, but that won't affect the outcome of the Challenge in this case.

The way you formatted the code is a little odd, but that will not affect the run-time of the code. Perhaps research a little about code format standards or styleguides for JavaScript to get some more understanding on that topic.

Best of luck. :-)
