The question asked,

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

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

Pretty simple if else block added into the script.js file:

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