The problem is that window.prompt("Enter first Number:", 0); is a string, not a number . So what is happening is that you are comparing text, and then count the length first.

You need to convert this String to a number with parseFloat , parseInt (only for integers) or Number .

For example like this: 

firstNumber = Number(window.prompt("Enter first Number:", 0));
secondNumber = Number(window.prompt("Enter second integer:", "0"));
