Code Challenge: Super Conditional Challenge

var money = 9; var today = 'Friday';

if ( money >= 100 && today !== 'Friday' ) { alert("Time to go to the theater");
} else if ( money >= 50 && today !== 'Friday' ) { alert("Time for a movie and dinner");
} else if ( money > 10 && today !== 'Friday' ) { alert("Time for a movie");
} else if ( money !== 9 || today === 'Friday' ) { alert("It's Friday, but I don't have enough money to go out");
} else { alert("This isn't Friday. I need to stay home."); }

what is wrong with this code ?

script.js 
var money = 9;
var today = 'Friday';

if ( money >= 100 && today !== 'Friday' ) {
  alert("Time to go to the theater");    
} else if ( money >= 50 && today !== 'Friday' ) {
  alert("Time for a movie and dinner");    
} else if ( money > 10 && today !== 'Friday' ) {
  alert("Time for a movie");   
} else if ( money !== 9 || today === 'Friday' ) {
  alert("It's Friday, but I don't have enough money to go out");   
} else {
  alert("This isn't Friday. I need to stay home.");
}

For this code challenge you have to change the logical operators so they are a logical "AND &&" and you have to change the last "else if" statement to check if the variable "today" is identical to "Friday" you don't need to check if the variable "money" is not identical to 9. You can do it like this:

var money = 9;
var today = 'Friday'

if ( money >= 100 && today === 'Friday' ) {
  alert("Time to go to the theater");    
} else if ( money >= 50 && today === 'Friday' ) {
  alert("Time for a movie and dinner");    
} else if ( money > 10 && today === 'Friday' ) {
  alert("Time for a movie");   
} else if ( today === 'Friday' ) {
  alert("It's Friday, but I don't have enough money to go out");   
} else {
  alert("This isn't Friday. I need to stay home.");
}

I hope that helps a little bit.
