else if statement

I don't understand what is wrong it keeps asking if I am putting the required message into the message value.

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

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

Why are you changing the starter code? Leave that alone and add the else if as instructed.

Also, because isAdmin and isStudent return aboolean, you don't need to do the === check. Hope this guides you in the right direction.
