Wry is this not working?

Add a final else clause to this conditional statement so that if the isAdmin variable and isStudent variables are both false an alert opens with the message "Who are you?"

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

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

Else doesn't need a condition. It's like a fallback, if all else fails, do this kind of thing.

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