final else

I cannot seem to complete the final "else" to this challenge. I have tried using the var(s) in the parentheses and with &&, || etc. what am I doing wrong?

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

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

Hi Cassandra,

In the final else statement, you don't need any parentheses. You are only asking for it to be if the other two conditions aren't resolved as true.

Your final code should look something like this:

var isAdmin = false;
var isStudent = false;

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

I hope this helps :)

Happy Coding!
