title: Comparison with the Greater Than Operator

## Description
<section id='description'>
The greater than operator (<code>&gt;</code>) compares the values of two numbers. If the number to the left is greater than the number to the right, it returns <code>true</code>. Otherwise, it returns <code>false</code>.
Like the equality operator, greater than operator will convert data types of values while comparing.
<strong>Examples</strong>
<blockquote> 5 > 3   // true<br> 7 > '3' // true<br> 2 > 3   // false<br>'1' > 9  // false</blockquote>
</section>

## Instructions
<section id='instructions'>
Add the <code>greater than</code> operator to the indicated lines so that the return statements make sense.

## Tests
<section id='tests'>

```yml
tests:
  - text: <code>testGreaterThan(0)</code> should return "10 or Under"
    testString: assert(testGreaterThan(0) === "10 or Under", '<code>testGreaterThan(0)</code> should return "10 or Under"');
  - text: <code>testGreaterThan(10)</code> should return "10 or Under"
    testString: assert(testGreaterThan(10) === "10 or Under", '<code>testGreaterThan(10)</code> should return "10 or Under"');
  - text: <code>testGreaterThan(11)</code> should return "Over 10"
    testString: assert(testGreaterThan(11) === "Over 10", '<code>testGreaterThan(11)</code> should return "Over 10"');
  - text: <code>testGreaterThan(99)</code> should return "Over 10"
    testString: assert(testGreaterThan(99) === "Over 10", '<code>testGreaterThan(99)</code> should return "Over 10"');
  - text: <code>testGreaterThan(100)</code> should return "Over 10"
    testString: assert(testGreaterThan(100) === "Over 10", '<code>testGreaterThan(100)</code> should return "Over 10"');
  - text: <code>testGreaterThan(101)</code> should return "Over 100"
    testString: assert(testGreaterThan(101) === "Over 100", '<code>testGreaterThan(101)</code> should return "Over 100"');
  - text: <code>testGreaterThan(150)</code> should return "Over 100"
    testString: assert(testGreaterThan(150) === "Over 100", '<code>testGreaterThan(150)</code> should return "Over 100"');
  - text: You should use the <code>&gt;</code> operator at least twice
    testString: assert(code.match(/val\s*>\s*('|")*\d+('|")*/g).length > 1, 'You should use the <code>&gt;</code> operator at least twice');

<div id='js-seed'>

```js
function testGreaterThan(val) {
  if (val) {  // Change this line
    return "Over 100";
  }

  if (val) {  // Change this line
    return "Over 10";
  }

  return "10 or Under";
}

// Change this value to test
testGreaterThan(10);
```

</div>

## Solution
<section id='solution'>


```js
function testGreaterThan(val) {
  if (val > 100) {  // Change this line
    return "Over 100";
  }
  if (val > 10) {  // Change this line
    return "Over 10";
  }
  return "10 or Under";
}
```
