error message is asking if I added an else clause to the end of the statement. Not sure what to do

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

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

if ( isAdmin ) {
  message = 'Welcome admin';
} else if ( isStudent ) {
  message = 'Welcome student';
}  isAdmin + isStudent = false 
message == 'Access denied';

You should add an "else" to the original "if / else if" chain, but don't copy the original to create a whole new chain.

And a final "else" doesn't have (or need) any conditional expression. But you will need the word "else".
