Final else clause.

How do you combine two variables? In this case how would I combine the 'isAdmin' variable and the 'isStudent' variables in the final else clause?

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

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

Hey Manny,

You could use the && and || to check for two or more varialbes

  • && means "and". In this case it would be (isAdmin "and" isStudent).
  • || means "or". In this case it would be (isAdmin "or" isStudent).
