Can someone can help me to resolve this problem I am trying to solve. Can you please find the mistake in the code.

else if (money >= 1 && today === 'Friday')

but alert message is printing wrong.

script.js 
var money = 9;
var today = 'Friday'

if ( money >= 100 && today === 'Friday' ) {
  alert("Time to go to the theater");    
} else if ( money >= 50 && today === 'Friday' ) {
  alert("Time for a movie and dinner");    
} else if ( money > 10 && today === 'Friday' ) {
  alert("Time for a movie");   
} else if (  money >= 1 && today === "Friday") {
  alert("It's Friday, but I don't have enough money to go out");   
} else {
  alert("This isn't Friday. I need to stay home.");
}

I've gone over this before Nasim. It seems you edited the original code quite a bit. But that's Ok. The bug that's left for you to correct would be in the 3rd "else if" code block. The logic/condition is wrong there. The proper condition should read (money < 10 && today === "Friday"). That way, the statement "It's Friday, but I don't have enough money to go out" would be valid, since var money = 9
