I'm on the objective make a conditional statement that checks if 2 variables equal and pops up a message if they are or they are not and I can't see why my code isn't working, any help would be appreciated :)
var a = 10;
var b = 20;
var c = 30;
if = (a > b) {
alert("a is greater than b");
} else = (a <= b) {
alert("a is not greater than b");
}

5,950 PointsHi Sara, your use of equal or less than condition is correct. the thing that goes wrong is your if and else statement.
here is an example of using if and else if
if(a<b){ alert("a is less than b"); }else if(a >= b){ alert("a is bigger or equal to be"); }
there should not be an equal sign between if and the condition statement. hope this is helpful.

4,211 PointsThank you, I also noticed I didn't add the if after the else :)
