add a conditional statement

so ive done the code, and its working perfectly but it wont let me go on to the next question... it keeps saying have you typed in the correct statement "a is not greater then b" ? and i clearly have!!! whats going on?

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') }

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 then b') 
}
