conditional statements

Add an else if clause that tests to see if the isStudent variable is true. If it is then open an alert dialog with the message 'Welcome student'.

how do I do that?

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

if ( isAdmin ) {
    alert('Welcome administrator')

}

else (isStudent){
  alert("Welcome student");
}
index.html

The code you have written is almost correct, you just have to change the else statement to else if like this:

var isAdmin = false;
var isStudent = true;

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