const isAdmin = true;
const isStudent = false;
let message;
let isAdmin = true;
let greeting;
if (isAdmin) {
greeting = "Welcome admin".
}

Also:
- you don't need to create any new variables
- "isAdmin" is already created and set by the supplied code
- javascript statements should end with a semicolon instead of a period

let message;Why would you not assign a value to it at first like the isAdmin or isStudent functions? Sorry if that isn't clear - extremely new to this.

229,732 PointsIt's considered good practice to define global variables at the beginning, even if you don't know what value they will get yet. It might also be needed to make the variable available later (for setting and reading) to functions. As you progress, you'll learn about the concept of "scope" which determines when and where variables can be accessed in the program.
