If the isAdmin variable and isStudent variables are both false an alert opens with the message "Who are you?"

I tried putting "false" in the last else statement but I know that isnt right...HELP

var isAdmin = false; var isStudent = false;

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

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

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

The last block must be an else block not if else:

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