The 6th code challenge in Making Decisions with Conditional Statements in JavaScript Basics?

I keep getting a bummer response. I have checked and rechecked the code, perhaps I'm looking to hard, and cannot figure out why it is not right. Any help is appreciated! The question is "Add a final else clause".

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

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

Your code is completely fine, it passed without issue when I tried it. Sometimes challenges can bug out a bit, which seems to be the case here.

My advice would be to copy your current code. Then reset the challenge (using the "Reset" button next to the "Preview" button), and then pasting in your code and submitting the code again. That usually clears out any bugs.
