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

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

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

script.js 
const isAdmin = true;
const isStudent = false;
let message;

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