4,145 PointsIf variables are both false what is the correct way to add a final clause?
var isAdmin = false; var isStudent = false;
if ( isAdmin ) { alert('Welcome administrator'); } else (isStudent) { alert('Welcome student'); } else { alert('Who are you?');
For this Challenge, I am not seeing why this is not passing.
var isAdmin = false;
var isStudent = false;
if ( isAdmin ) {
alert('Welcome administrator');
} else (isStudent) {
alert('Welcome student');
} else {
alert('Who are you?');

Courses Plus Student 2,313 Pointschange the first else
statement to an else if
statement, if you had even more statements they would also be else if
statements and end with an else
statement

231,275 PointsIt looks like you forgot the if part of "else if".
In your second condition, you need an if between the else and the conditional expression.

alert('Welcome administrator');
} else (isStudent) {
alert('Welcome student');
} else {
alert('Who are you?');
Using a condition in an else-Statement is not working. You have to use "else if(condition)".
