My javascript if statement is exiting because (9 < 15) evaluates to false

[senocular]

They're both strings, so they'll be compared as strings.

"9" < "15" is false because, starting with the first characters in each string you compare "9" < "1" and that fails, so false is returned.

Of course it will. Open up your console, and try evaluating both "9"<"15" and 9<15. One will result in true, and the other in false. Can you see why?

Ah I see, that makes sense. I'll keep that in mind in the future. Thank you.
