Create a conditional statement that tests if the isAdmin variable is true. If it's true, set the value of the message

script.js 
const isAdmin = true;
const isStudent = false;
let message = 'Welcome admin';
if ( isAdmin === true ) {
    true = 'Welcome admin';
    }

This is what I meant:

let message;
if (isAdmin === true) {
  message = "Welcome admin";
}

It says to set the "message" variable to "Welcome admin" in the if block, not above it. And, you should delete the "true = 'Welcome admin'" line.

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

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

message = 'Access denied';

}
