11,634 PointsI think that you forgot one equals sign. If statement should look like this:
if (isAdmin == true) { alert("Welcome administrator") }
You use one equals sign to assign a value, and two of them for comparison.

229,708 PointsThe "point" of the challenges is just to practice what you're learning.
But if you're having trouble passing task 1, it looks like there's two issues:
- the conditional has an assignment operator ("
=") instead of a comparision ("==") - you still need a closing brace ("
}") to end your conditional code block.

5,188 PointsJaroslaw is correct. You assign variables with the single '=' operator, compare with the double '==' or strict triple '==='.
