I have a question on my coding challenge. Its very simple but for some reason it isn't working. It is in Ruby btw.

Write the Ruby Code to check if the variable "a" is greater than the variable "b". Now I've tried almost everything.

I've tried

a>b

b<a

"a">"b"

"b">"a"

i've tried assigning values to a and b and doing all of the above but it still doesnt work. is it bugged or am i missing something. ANY HELP would be appreciated. Thanks

Hi Evan,

You need to make space between a and b strings

a > b

Thanks I'm, coming from c ++ where its not nessecary to make the space between the two strings. Also the instructor didnt mention it and he assumed it. But thanks!
