9,260 PointsHi Justin, you are almost there just need to do amend the syntax for the else condition, as it checks against the variable isAdmin, and as a single condition it will check if true / false, so if the isAdmin is false it will go to the else statement and alert 'Welcome student'
var isAdmin = false;
var isStudent = true;
if ( isAdmin ) {
alert('Welcome administrator');
} else {
alert('Welcome student');
}
but using an else if condition would look like this:
as with else if they also need open and closing parenthesis to include the condition you want to test against.
var isAdmin = false;
var isStudent = true;
if ( isAdmin ) {
alert('Welcome administrator');
} else if(isStudent){
alert('Welcome student');
}
hope this helps :)
