I don't understand why this doesn't work.

Please assist

script.js 
var money = 9;
var today = 'Friday'

if ( money >= 100 && today === 'Friday' ) {
  alert("Time to go to the theater");    
} else if ( money >= 50 && today === 'Friday' ) {
  alert("Time for a movie and dinner");    
} else if ( money > 10 && today === 'Friday' ) {
  alert("Time for a movie");   
} else if ( today === 'Friday' || money < 10 ) {
  alert("It's Friday, but I don't have enough money to go out");   
} else {
  alert("This isn't Friday. I need to stay home.");
}

Hi Brenna!

You need to fix two things, first at the last elseif statemnent, switch the logical || operator to &&.

And what does it do if i have got 10 money and friday? your result: "This isn't Friday. I need to stay home. :)

At the last elseif statement write the operator at money from < to <=.

And it will be good, i hope i can help, have a nice day!

I think you need the & operator in place of some of the || operators
