--description--

You may recall from Comparison with the Equality Operator that all comparison operators return a boolean true or false value.

Sometimes people use an if/else statement to do a comparison, like this:

function isEqual(a, b) {
  if (a === b) {
    return true;
  } else {
    return false;
  }
}

But there's a better way to do this. Since === returns true or false, we can return the result of the comparison:

function isEqual(a, b) {
  return a === b;
}

--instructions--

Fix the function isLess to remove the if/else statements.

--hints--

isLess(10, 15) should return true

assert(isLess(10, 15) === true);

isLess(15, 10) should return false

assert(isLess(15, 10) === false);

You should not use any if or else statements

assert(!/if|else/g.test(__helpers.removeJSComments(code)));

--seed-contents--

function isLess(a, b) {
  // Only change code below this line
  if (a < b) {
    return true;
  } else {
    return false;
  }
  // Only change code above this line
}

isLess(10, 15);

--solutions--

function isLess(a, b) {
  return a < b;
}
