It looks like you copied an answer you found directly into the function. I don’t recommend that.

You shouldn’t have a function definition inside of the function definition on this Challenge.

  // Only change code below this line
  if (a < b) {
    return true;
  } else {
    return false;

  function isLess(a, b) {
    return a === b;

Can you explain why you have this function definition inside of your function definition?

You basically had it in the opening post, you just needed to get rid of the extra function declaration you added. You can’t declare function isLess(a,b) { twice.

Try deleting the if/else code instead of commenting it out, then maybe it will be more clear.
