if (username === '' "______ password === " '') { alert("Password or user name is missing"); }
If this is the questions then the key word is either condition. so if either condition must be true there are options
- use the && "and" operator this will make the condition have both conditions be true. so if ( a === b && c ===d ). both conditions need to be true in order the for the condition to be true.
we only want either condition to be true, so there is the other option
- using the || "or" operator. this will make either condition be true. so if ( a=== b || c === d ) either condition needs to be true in order for the condition to pass as true. Not both, just either or.
if (username === " " || password === '' ") { alert("Password or user name is missing"); }

Isn't this what they want to ask:
"Complete the code below so that at least one condition must be true for the alert message to appear:"
?

Courses Plus Student 10,715 PointsArtur are right. Your code is not valid. In your case you should use some logical operator like && or || to make logical operation on it.
if (username === '' password === '') { alert("Password or user name is missing"); }
