Add a conditional statement that tests if the value in variable a is greater than the value in variable b. If it is, log

Did you add an else clause to the end of the conditional statement?

script.js 
const a = 10;
const b = 20;
const c = 30;

if (a > b) {
  console.log("a is greater than b");
} eslse {
  console.log("a is not greater than b");

Hi John! -

You are very close. You have misspelled else and need to add a closing }. If you do that, your code will work.

Happy coding!
