Hi Tim,

This is a simple typo, simply continued as if it says isStudent. /cc Dave McFarland

Final code for the challenge.

var isAdmin = false;
var isStudent = false;

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

That ok Chris I assumed it was a typo- do you know the answer to the final else statement here? I can't work it out.

I've updated my above reply to include the final code, all the challenge was asking for is an else statement and an additional alert with the text Who are you?.
