Comparison with the greater than operator (>) |
Comparison with the Greater Than Operator (>)
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.
try to solve the problem now
Spoiler alert!
Solution ahead!
Basic code solution:
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";
}
// 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".
