What am i missing here it makes sense to me S:
if a greater than b then alert pops up saying a is greater else message a is not greater
ayyaaa confused
reading mdn docs i thought mines same s:
if (x > 5) { /* do the right thing / } else if (x > 50) { / do the right thing / } else { / do the right thing */ }
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
I tried this also
if ( a > b ) {
alert('a is greater than b');
{ else if ( a <= b ) }
alert('a is not greater than b');
}

It's a syntax error from your side: inspect the correct way here:
if ( a > b ) {
alert('a is greater than b');
} else {
alert('a is not greater than b');
}
Do you see what you did wrong?
It can be hard to understand in the beginning, but keep at it and you will eventually understand all of this! :)
