I don't know what to write in the else clause.
var isAdmin = false;
var isStudent = false;
if ( isAdmin ) {
alert('Welcome administrator');
} else if (isStudent) {
alert('Welcome student');
} else (isAdmin === true, isStudent === true) {
alert('Who are you?');
}

if (condition) {
// do something
} else if (condition) {
// do something
} else { // notice else don't have conditions
// do something
}

var isAdmin = false;
var isStudent = false;
if ( isAdmin ) {
alert('Welcome administrator');
} else if (isStudent) {
alert('Welcome student');
} else {
alert('Who are you?')
}
