kinda hard for me

Challenge Task 1 of 1

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'.

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 then b')
}

You appear to be missing a semicolon on your last alert statement.

A semicolon missing into the else statement

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'); }

maybe change the "NOT" in the second alert to "not", not "NOT".
