var isAdmin = false;
var isStudent = false;
if ( isAdmin ) {
alert('Welcome administrator')
} else if (isStudent) {
alert('Welcome student')
} else () {
Alert("Who are you?")
}

4,315 PointsHI Carl - you almost got this code challenge, but you have a few errors. On the final else clause there is no need for the parentheses after the word 'else' as the idea is that for all other eventualities this is the response, also you may need to have a uncapitalised A on the alert statement, like below:
var isAdmin = false;
var isStudent = false;
if ( isAdmin ) {
alert('Welcome administrator')
} else if (isStudent) {
alert('Welcome student')
} else {
alert('Who are you?')
}
