Comparison with the Strict Inequality Operator (revived)

1

Tell us what’s happening:

Hi! This seemed simple enough, however I cannot get the first test to pass. Could anyone Please help. I’ve exhausted Read and Search, as all the information I found says to do as I’ve done.

Your code so far

// Setup
function testStrictNotEqual(val) {
  // Only Change Code Below this Line
  
  if (val !== 17); { 

  // Only Change Code Above this Line

    return "Not Equal";
  }
  return "Equal";
}

// Change this value to test
testStrictNotEqual(10);

Hi KayCodes,

  1. Looks like you have extra ‘;’ after if (val !== 17)
  2. When you have more than 1 ‘if’ statement you should use ‘else’

The solution should look like:

function testNotEqual(val) {
  if (val != 99) { 
    return "Not Equal";
  } else {
    return "Equal";   
  }
}
testNotEqual(12);

Please test it and let me know if you run into troubles.

Thank you! I tried the next challenge without the " ; " and that seemed to be the problem! I passed without the “else” but will keep that in mind for the future. Its always the little things with coding! Thanks a lot.
