I don't know what I'm doing wrong and I feel as if this is correct. It keeps saying "Bummer! I don't see the message 'a is NOT greater than b' Are you sure you wrote the conditional statement correctly? Yet, each time I click submit work, the alert message shows up on my screen. I can physically see it, I have a screenshot of the alert message. But it keeps telling me I'm wrong. What am I doing wrong here?
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')
}
