// you have an unwanted curly brace, the reason for the error is, the way that you have programmed
// it is hard to understand, are there any errors, that way you can minimise errors
// the last else, the uniformity is missing, like the momentum, in terms of coding as per to the earlier if and else if

var isAdmin = false;
var isStudent = false;

if ( isAdmin ) {
    alert('Welcome administrator');
} else if (isStudent) {
    alert('Welcome student');
}
}else{ // in this line there is an additional curly.
alert("Who are you?");} // I would take this curly down, not to break the momentum
