Checking an if statement to see if a number is greater than another

Question

I’ve been given an question “write an if statement that checks to see if number is greater than 22. If it is then it should assign ‘This number is greater than 22’ to message.

Line 2 is: var number = 29;
Line 3 is: var message = ‘this number is smaller than 22’...

Every time I write the if statement and change smaller than to greater than as instructed I get an error..
How can I fix this ?

Answer 4

Your if statement should work when tried it with a different number.') <— thats the error message Nguyễn Văn Hoàng

Answer 5

Junie B. That sounds more like a message from a code-learning site than a message issued by the interpreter. I haven't seen your if statement yet, there is a possibility that you didn't get their assignment right.

Sorry I'm still unable to help. Is this a quiz on SoloLearn? If not, would you mind telling me which IDE you were working with and which platform/browser you were testing on?

Answer 6

// your code below here
if ('number > 22'); Nguyễn Văn Hoàng

Answer 7

Junie B. there are quotation marks around your condition, which makes it a string, and the block that follows will always be executed.

if ('number > 22') // Logical Error
if (number > 22) // Correct

Answer 14

Nguyễn Văn Hoàng have anything for this https://foundations.nycda.tools/challenges/required-exercise-looping-part-2

Answer 15

let basket = ['banana', 'mango', 'cucumber', 'peach', 'apple'];

for (let fruit in basket)
console.log(fruit);

The instructions on the site seems clear to me, which part of it you didn't understand? It would be uneffective if we go on like this. Programming is about the concepts, not the syntax.

Answer 16

Can you provide the full error message or a link to your code? Line 2 and Line 3 contain no error from my observation.

Answer 17

Nguyễn Văn Hoàng thank you, but everytime I insert the correct condition it shows im wrong with “your if statement should work when tried it with a different number.’) and when i change my message to “this number is smaller than 22” it say my condition is incorrect. its very confusing. sidenote my number is 28 “Var number = 28;”

Answer 18

Junie B. sorry for taking your time. Since this is taken out of context, I'd suggest you show the whole program (what the site already done for you and also your solution) or link to where you were having the problem.
