javascript basics

why is this not working Bummer: I don't see the message 'a is NOT greater than b'. Are you sure you wrote the conditiona

script.js 
var a = 10;
var b = 20;
var c = 30;
if(a > b){
  alert("<p> a is greater than b. </p>");
   }else {
    alert("<p> a is not greater than b. </p>"); 
   }

The message needs to be exactly as specified. Remove the <p> tags and period and you should be good.
