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

I'm on using comparison operators test part 3 Im getting Bummer! I don't see the message 'a is NOT greater tha b'.

I've tested this answer in the work space you provided and it works fine but it still gives me Bummer! I don't see the message 'a is NOT greater than b'. Are you sure you wrote the conditional statement correctly?

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

if (a > b) { 
  alert('a is greater then b'); 
  } else { 
  alert('a is not greater then b'); 
  }

Hey John,

You pretty much have it, and the fix here is simple. The issue is that your strings don't match what the code challenge is looking for. In both strings, you've written "then" instead of "than". Fix this, and it should go through fine.

This stuff takes "paying attention to detail" to a whole other level. Thanx for your help man :-)
