Use the Conditional (Ternary) Operator not bringing correct result

JavaScript
#1

Tell us what’s happening:

Your code so far

function checkEqual(a, b) {
 return a>b ? false: true; 
}

checkEqual(1, 2);

When I input the above everything else works except it brings a>b as true

You’re being asked to check if the two inputs are equal, not whether the first is greater than the second: that is the example, your code will not be the same.

Thanks for your input.
I changed to this
function checkEqual(a, b) {
return a=b ? false: true;
}

checkEqual(1, 2);

now its bringing checkEqual(1, 1) should return true

Thanks to your input I finally solved it.

I’ve edited your post for readability. When you enter a code block into the forum, precede it with a line of three backticks and follow it with a line of three backticks to make easier to read. See this post to find the backtick on your keyboard. The “preformatted text” tool in the editor (</>) will also add backticks around text.
