JavaScript JavaScript Basics (Retired) Making Decisions with Conditional Statements Using Comparison Operators

I am not sure what I am doing wrong on this question

Add a conditional statement that tests if the value in the variable a is greater than the value in variable b. If it is, pop up an alert with the message 'a is greater than b'; also add an else clause that pops up the message 'a is not greater than b'.

this is what I got:

script.js
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');
}

Most likely the capital I in "If" is making the interpreter unable to catch the "if" keyword.

Hey

Almost there!! Just change the If to lowercase then it works fine.

Happy coding

Thanks for the guys!
