1,104 PointsUsing Comparison operators
Ok am stuck and cant get past this task Using Comparison operators. The task is. "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'."
My solution if ( a > b ){ alert("a is greater than b"); } else { alert ("a is not greater than b"): }
The error message am getting "There was an error with your code: syntaxError: parse error"
