Hi, Ben. Comparing two different data types, in this case an integer and a string results in a TypeError.

The number 2 that you put in double quotation marks("") is actually a string hence the error.


Make sure to compare numbers with other numbers, not strings that have numbers in it!


Hope this helps!
