Hey Musab,

The way letters get evaluated are whether they become before or after one another, so when looking at:

lion > zebra

The result will be false because the first letter of lion (l) comes before the first letter in zebra (z).

Meaning 'z' is greater than 'l' because it is 'higher' in the alphabet than 'l' is.

Assign a numerical value to each letter, with 'a' being 1 and 'z' being 26 and this will make more sense.

Good luck with the course!
