How do I get the last else if statement?

can someone just show me how they did it, not just explain, I do better with picture. I have been stumped with this code for a min now.

script.js 
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 ( money>===9 && 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.");
}

You've been stumped — for a whole minute? :smile:

But you did get pretty close. You realized the pairs of expressions needed to be combined with and (&&) rather than or (||) operations and the last comparison should be equals instead of not equals. :+1:

There's just a couple of issues left, both where you changed more than you needed:

  • There's no ">===" operator. Just leave the original one as-is (">=")
  • You don't need to add a money test to the last if. You can only reach it (on Friday) if money is 10 or less.

I'll bet you can get it now without an explicit spoiler. :sparkles:
