No matter what argument values are passed to your function, it only ever will check if 1 is less than 2. Since 1 > 2 evaluates to false, your function will only ever return "Not Equal". You need to incorporate the parameters a, and b into your solution. Also, you are supposed to be checking if the numbers are equal. What operator checks for equality?

function checkEqual(a, b) {

return 1 === 2 ? “Equal” : “Not Equal”;

}

console.log(checkEqual(1, 2));

it still says " checkEqual(1, 1) should return the string Equal".

You have to use the parameters (a and b) instead of numbers
