Boolean Value Exercise

I have tried several different ways of solving this problem. It is making me think the directions are not clear or something else is a factor. Or maybe it is something obvious that I have missed.

I declared a variable and set it to true and then placed that in equal to true in the conditional statement.

script.js 
var booTest = true;

if ( booTest === true) {
    alert('This is true');
} else {
    alert('This is false');
}

This is a good solution but not now. Just put true boolean value inside the if() statement and don't create a new variable.
