## Comparison with the Greater Than Operator
|
||||
## Comparison with the Greater Than Operator (>)
|
||||
|
||||
`>` (Greater Than) is a logical operator that returns true case the value on the left is higher than the one on the right.
|
||||
|
||||
## Basic Solution
|
||||
### Problem explanation:
|
||||
· _Add the `greater than` operator to the indicated lines so that the return statements make sense._
|
||||
|
||||
#### Hint 1
|
||||
The greater than operator `(>)` compares both operands using type coercion (converting data types if necessary) and returns `true` if the first one is greater than the second one.

## Spoiler alert!
|
||||
|
||||
**Solution ahead!**
|
||||
|
||||
## Basic code solution:
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
function testGreaterThan(val) {
|
||||
if (val > 100)
|
||||
if (val > 100) { // Change this line
|
||||
return "Over 100";
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
if (val > 10)
|
||||
if (val > 10) { // Change this line
|
||||
return "Over 10";
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
return "10 or Under";
|
||||
return "10 or under";
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// Change this value to test
|
||||
testGreaterThan(10);
|
||||
```
|
||||
### Code explanation
|
||||
The function first evaluates `if` the condition `(val > 100)` evaluates to `true` converting `val` to a number if necessary. If it does, it returns the statement between the curly braces ("Over 100"). If it doesn't, it checks if the next condition is `true` (returning "Over 10"). Otherwise the function will return "10 or under".
