18,010 PointsI don't know why I keep getting error message for this task when I check the work it seems to work fine.
the task is to add an else if condition if variable isStudent is true and send an alert message saying "welcome student". Weird thing is that when I press the recheck work it would pop "Welcome Student" message however the system couldn't seem to identify properly the code and keeps giving me the "Bummer!" red x message whenever I press to recheck work. Anyone can assist me on this?
var isAdmin = false;
var isStudent = true;
if (isAdmin === true) {
alert('Welcome administrator');
} else if (isStudent === true) {
alert('Welcome Student');
}

6,650 PointsYou're actually doing it right, the message you're alerting is just not excactly the message that was asked to be alerted. You're writing Students with an uppercase 'S'. Changing it to lowercase will let you advance.
