more of a head up/

the result for condition false says make an alert( "a is not greater than b");

when you run it fails because it wants the word "not" to be in capital letters.

(" a is NOT greater than b") the question doesn't use upper case.

Hey Doron,

Can you show your code? I'm not experiencing this on my end.

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');
}

my code was identical to yours above. I got an error the first time I did it, had to change not to NOT(the only thing I did) and then it worked fine. which is weird because I've just gone and done the same exercise and it worked fine . No idea why I had that issue. Must be something I misread.

anyhow thanks for the quick response.
