Add an else if clause that tests if the isStudent variable is true. If it's true, set the value of the message variable

script.js 
const isAdmin = false;
const isStudent = true;
let message;

if ( isAdmin ) {
  alert('Welcome administrator')
} else if ( isStudent) {
  alert('Welcome student');
}

Hi! It is asking you to assign the "message" variable a string: "Welcome student" if "isStudent" = true. You do not need to alert the message, just assign the message to the variable "message". It should look something like this:

const isAdmin = false;
const isStudent = true;
let message;

if ( isAdmin ) {
  message = 'Welcome admin';
} else if (isStudent) {
  message = "Welcome student"
}

I hope this helps! Tell me if you need further explanation, i am happy to help.
