Else statement

Appreciate help with this code—- getting error after many attempts of revision.

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

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

else (isAdmin = false + isStudent = false) this is wrong there is no conditions after else try just :

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