Hi! You must use "else if" conditional in this case in your second condition! Everytime you use several conditions that's what you need to use, like this:

if (condition) {
    run some code;
}
else if (second condition) {
   run some other code;
}
else {
   run some code if none of the conditions above are true;
}

Hope this help you out!
