895 PointsStuck on this question,keep getting a Syntax Error Parse Error
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'.
What I have written is
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'); }
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');
}

Courses Plus Student 298 PointsThe first part looks good but then you put the else statement inside it's own block. You need to move it out of there. It should look like:
if (something)
{
do something
}
else
{
do other thing
}
