Hi Amy, you got this. See code with comments below :)

// Declare a variable named spaceShips and set its value to be 0
var spaceShips = 0;

// Conditional check to see if the spaceShips variable has its value set to 0
if (spaceShips === 0 ) {
   // If spaceShips is 0, this code branch will be executed *hint*
   alert('You lose!');
} else {
  // If spaceShips is not 0, this code branch will be executed
  alert('You are still alive!');
}
