the challenge says:
"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'."
An error pops up saying " I do not see ' a is NOT greater than b' "
even thou it does pop up.
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.");
}

if (a > b) {
alert('a is greater than b');
} else {
alert('a is not greater than b');
}
