JavaScript arithmetic works with numeric values stored in variables. A clear solution reads the needed values, computes the formula with `+`, `-`, `*`, `/` or `**`, and prints only the final result.

['Write the formula using named intermediate values if it contains more than one operation.', 'Mentally substitute at least one value for each branch and verify that exactly the intended branch runs.']

ANSWER Solution

const fs = require('fs');
const input = fs.readFileSync(0, 'utf8').trimEnd();
let [a, b] = input.trim().split(/\s+/).filter(Boolean).map(Number);
if (a > b) {
    console.log("FIRST");
} else {
    if (b > a) {
        console.log("SECOND");
    } else {
        console.log("DRAW");
    }
