Strict Inequality Operator is giving me issues

Tell us what’s happening:

What am I doing wrong? I’ve tried so many different variants and even looked up the answer and it still doesn’t work.

Your code so far


// Setup
function testStrictNotEqual(val) {
if (val !== 17); { // Change this line
  return "Not Equal";
}
return "Equal";
}

// Change this value to test
console.log(testStrictNotEqual(17));
