Use the less than or equal to operator to determine whether or not the variable "b" is less than or equal to the variable "a".
b >= a

33,990 PointsHi John, you used the greater than or equal to sign (>=) in your comparison when it requires you to use less than or equal to (<=), like so:
b <= a
Below I have included the most common Ruby Comparison Operators if you need to refer to them:
- < less than
- > greater than
- <= less than or equal to
- >= greater than or equal to
- == equal value
- != not equal value
Hope that helps!!

13,496 Pointsso you looking to determine if a variable is less than or equal.
b<a would validate if b less than a b=a would validate if b equal a
so,
b <= a would validated if b less than or equal to a

11,256 PointsI got the answer right by typing in:
b < a
Which isn't correct. From what the video says it should be :
"b" < "a"

1,394 PointsI typed in: b < a and it said it was wrong, so I opened up my note pad on my Mac and typed it there and copy/paste and it worked. Has to be a bug.
