2,657 PointsI need help. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong here?
I have no clue of what I'm doing wrong.
var money = 9;
var today = 'Friday'
if ( money >= 100 || today === 'Friday' ) {
alert("Time for a movie and dinner");
} else if ( money >= 50 || today === 'Friday' ) {
alert("Time to go to the theater");
} else if ( money > 10 || today === 'Friday' ) {
alert("Time to go to the theater");
} else if ( today !== 'Friday' ) {
alert("This isn't Friday. I need to stay home.");
} else {
alert("This isn't Friday. I need to stay home.");
}

231,275 PointsCompare the tests being performed with the messages that print out. The logic of the tests might need to be adjusted. For example:
money >= 50 || today === 'Friday'
This test is checking if the money is more than 50 OR that today is Friday. But based on the message, you would still need money on Friday, so a different logic operator is needed to combine the individual comparisons.
And be sure to only fix the testing expressions, don't change any of the messages!
