Add an else if clause to see if Welcome student works

This challenge seems to be having some bug. Even though I am getting the alert box saying welcome student, it still gives an error saying it cant see the message

here is my code

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

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

Hey there Ansar Memon . Your code looks fine. The syntax and the logic is perfect. But you made a small mistake in the printing. You should print "Welcome student" and not "Welcome Student". Since JS is case sensitive, you are getting this problem. Hope it helps (:

Ehi Ansar, is much easier than it looks ;) You simply need to add the else-if code (as asked). No need for the additional else. I tried with this code and I passed:

else if ( isStudent ) {
  alert('Welcome student')
}

Hi Luca,

Thanks for your response. It was a minor mistake since JS is case sensitive. I made it "Welcome Student" - "s" should have been be small caps.
