What's Wrong wth this Code?

I am not sure what's worn with this code:

if(a > b) { alert('a is greater than b'); } else { alert('a is not greater than b'); }

I kept receiving an error message.

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

if(a > b) {
  alert('a is greater than b');
} else {
  alert('a is not greater than b');
}

I think that was the issue. I came back hours later, copied and pasted the same code and it works this time.

Thank you Erik.
