This is my code...
var isAdmin = true; var isStudent = false;
if ( isAdmin === true ) { alert('Welcome administrator'); } else if ( isStudent === true ) { alert('Welcome student'); }
var isAdmin = true;
var isStudent = false;
if ( isAdmin === true ) {
alert('Welcome administrator');
} else if ( isStudent === true ) {
alert('Welcome student');
}

1,536 PointsYes I can refactor that way, but my code is technically valid JS ... I was just wondering why it spit out an error. It was a bug I restarted and this code worked. I have experience with JS but wanted to keep to what was being taught and not jump ahead eg. refactor but yes something like ...
if ( isAdmin ) { alert('Welcome administrator'); } else { alert('Welcome student'); }
would also work

1,536 Pointslooks like it is <script src="script.js"></script> ... this is a code challenge though and usually treehouse has it already plugged up I never touch the index on these well so far but I double checked and looks like the code challenge before this. I tested this code on browser console also and it works

9,607 PointsEverything checks out from what i can see... are you sure that the script.js file is correctly linked in relation to the index.html file?
