Can someone help me

Add a final else clause to this conditional statement so that if the isAdmin variable and isStudent variables are both false an alert opens with the message "Who are you?"

script.js 
var isAdmin = false;
var isStudent = false;

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

Looks like you are just missing a question mark.

Hey Brandon, Your answer is correct but you are missing a '?' mark.

var isAdmin = false;
var isStudent = false;

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

Challenges are picky about what answers they accept. I hope this helps.
