Unlike most challenges, you need to fix this one, not add to it.

Take a look at the comparison and combination operators. Remember that when checking if either of two conditions is true, you combine them using OR (||), and when checking if both conditions are true, you combine them using AND (&&).

Also be sure when checking if two things are the same, the equality (===) comparison is used, and when checking if they are different, the inequality (!==) comparison is used.
