I cannot get the last else clause to work when running the program. Save Me.

He said the last else clause will only run if the others turn out to be false. That's what I did and I still cannot get the message "Who are you?" to pop up.

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

if ( isAdmin === true ) {
    alert('Welcome administrator');
} else if (isStudent === true) {
    alert('Welcome student');
} else (isAdmin , isStudent === false) {
    alert('who are you?');
}

You should not add any parameters in the final else clause. It should look like this:

var isAdmin = false;
var isStudent = false;

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