Why is the answer incorrect?

I have the statement in the alert 'a is NOT greater than b.' and the answer is incorrect.

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.'); }

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 than b.');
}

Ok, its super specific, but you need to remove the full stop at the end of the sentences.

'a is greater than b' not 'a is greater than b.'
