<In what way does your code behave incorrectly? Include ALL error messages.>
Say we want to write a program that asks whether your name is longer than 7 letters. If the answer is yes, we can respond with “You have a long name!”

```

if( “myName”.length >= 7 ) {
console.log(“You have a long name!”);
}

<do not remove the three backticks above>

The example just shows you the syntax, how to format the if statement.

You need to follow the instructions and use example as a guide for the syntax

I understand what the intention is. My point is that the example code should say

If( “myName”.length > 7) to match what the description says or the description should say

“Say we want to write a program that asks whether your name is longer than 6 letters.”

The code doesn’t match the text.
