Courses Plus Student 11,504 PointsI can't complete this challenge due to code issues.
I can't complete this challenge due to a glitch in the code. the console is separate and the code is to the far right and I can't tell what I'm typing.
var a = 10;
var b = 20;
var c = 30;

The above messages does appear to have been made with the "get help" button, but before any code was written.
I did see another post written about the same time as yours — perhaps there was a temporary server issue?
I can only say "try again", perhaps after restarting your browser and/or rebooting your machine.

Found out that the following code is rejected by the challenge verification engine: if ( a > b ) { alert('a is greater than b.'); } else { alert('a is not greater than b.'); }
Whereas this code works: if(a > b){ alert("a is greater than b"); }else{ alert('a is not greater than b'); }
Although the first comparison is syntactically correct it is not interpreted properly by the challenge verification software. Bug?

3,568 PointsI've had a hilarious number of issues with the JavaScript course, or rather it would be hilarious if it wasn't incredibly frustrating. I'm also having issues on this same quiz, except my issue is that for some reason it's totally unable to recognize my code (even though it's working in the browser when it runs each time). This is the second such issue where having identical code to the previous lesson fails and the challenge cannot be completed. I was thinking about trying the TechDegree but if they can't even get the technical issues ironed out of the basic courses I can't imagine paying $200 per month.
I also want to mention that the "Get Help" button does absolutely nothing, so I can't even link to the lesson when I ask a question. I mentioned that to support too, but they totally ignored me. First class job here TreeHouse.
