It would be helpful if you provided the code you tried to submit for this challenge so we can compare it to the instructions.

So, your problem lies within all the conditionals.

For the first three, you need to replace the OR comparison with the AND (&&), because both conditions need to be met in order for the code to execute. money has to be True AND today MUST be Friday.

The way you have it ( using || ) will return a True on the first conditional, because with the OR comparison, only ONE needs to return True. Since the day is hard coded as Friday, using OR will return True and not even parse the remain code.

Your today === 'Friday' is correct.

Does that help? :)

Hi there and welcome to Treehouse.

There is no error in the code challenge. I just completed it with a Pass.

Gavin is right. If you could post the code you are trying, we would be able to help you troubleshoot your code.

This is the code I tried to submit to the Treehouse web application.

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.");
}
